I have 2 kum-HO 195/55/15 tires (2000 miles on them) and 2 stockers that need replacing on my car right now... is it worth it to get a new set of 4 that are 205/50/15s or should I just stick with getting two more of the same tire...

Is the difference night/day between the tire sizes ?... Anyways....How is the rain performance of the Falken Azenis if I did go with them ?

 

theyre actually pretty good in the rain. i was quite surprised by this. they didnt even attempt to to start sliding out on me when it was raining here over the weekend.

 

How bout the 195/55 vs 205/50 issue... is there that big of a difference ?

 

I can't specifically say that 10mm makes a world of difference.

I have the 205/50/15 Azenis on my car b/c that's the widest that will fit without rubbing.

In the world of rubber, bigger is usually better!

 

Anyone know if the 215/45/16 would fit on a 16x7 wheel without rubbing?

 

yes the 205/50/15 azenis are much wider than most 205/50/15's and so there would be a LARGE difference between your 195/55 tires and the 205/50/15 azenis in width.

 

yup.. there is a difference. i actually heard its better to run 205 50 15 tires.

 

i have the azenis..it's the standstill puddles/patches of water
where the azenis have no grip...rain driving should be okay...
unless the rain is violent and it's flooding the streets.

 

I just took a look at my tires and they are 195/55 R 15. What is the optimum size Azeni to put on my Integra? And do I want the Azenis Sport or Azenis ST115? And do I want H, V, or Z speed rated?

Sorry for the question that's prob been asked a million times,
Ben

I just put 205/50 15's on my GSR and they are perfect. They are ok on wet streets/light rain but standing water and hard rain you have to be careful.

 

You want Azenis Sport.
