Just after some advice on tyres please 195/45 16's seem to be most peoples choice,but they reduce the overall wheel/tyre size by 14mm  195/50 16's are a nearer match,they increase overall size by 5mm. Or 205/45 16's are also close,they reduce the overall size by 5mm. Anyone tried 195/50's at all?  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

I've had both, the 50's were more comfortable and made less road noise than the 45s, but to drive the difference was otherwise unnoticeable. Would say though, if lowering the car at all, they sit better on 45s and just generally look a bit smarter. ________________________________________ '99 1.8 XS - Sold'00 GTi6 - Killed by armco '01 Cabriolet 1.8 - Sold '96 Eunos Roadster 1.8 Import |

depending on cost, i will be going to 195/50 as with the 195/45 setup i feel every f*cking bump in sheffield, believe me there are more bumps than scroungers on the dole.________________________________________ Team allesclar ® |

I had 195/45 and if I kept the car I would have gone to 205/45 with it being lowered 30mm, 45 was a fine profile.________________________________________ Ex Astor 6 owner Also an Ex owner of a Bianca 6 Now an ex owner of a 2005 9-3 2.0T 210bhp Aero Swedish Saloon thing!!
