I just purchased two new kuhmo SPT 195/55/15's for my car about a month ago. I got new wheels on today and I saw just how bad one of the back tires was (I thought they were in better shape, but apparently not). So my question is I wanted to step up to a 205/50/15 with my new wheels, would it be okay to run 205/50/15's in the rear and 195/55,15's up front (same tire brand and model)?

Anyone? I need to order these tires right away.

 

Yes, you can do it. Just make sure each axle has two tires that are the same size.

Sure will, 195/55/15's in the front 205/50/15's in the rear... then once the front wear out Ill put 205/50/15's all the way around.

Found out Kumho had discountinued the 205/50/15 series SPT ... I have SPT's on the front and I really wanted just a wider thinner SPT on the rear, what should I go with now? 195/50/15's?

No, they haven't. They are just hard to get, because of heavy demand.

Get 195/55-15 or 205/50-15. Have you tried Discount Tire? (The prices on their website include free shipping.)

Don't get 195/50-15.

 

Why not?

 

Because 195/50-15 is too small for your car, they'll throw off your speedometer and odometer, etc. Stick with the proper size for your car.
