Hi mates, I have to put new tyres, and I can´t decide which one of these 2 to go with.Yoko is a better tyre I think, but cant get it in 195/55, only in 205/50. And i guess it´ll look a lot better. Total diameter is almost the same, guess it wont change anything. Has anyone tryied this size? On cyclones. |

If you only drive on perfectly warm sunny days and don't have a particularly powerful car then t1r's will be great......S-drives are a reasonable tyre but don't particularly last well and better wet grip is available for the money. Much better tyres available for not a lot more money PS3's only come in 50 profile AFAIK but they are amazing tyres in the dry and the wet. Can be had for £57 a tyre online. If you want a good cheaper alternative I'd go for Avon Zv5 or ZZ3 or Hankook Ventus V12. Goodyear Efficient grip or Dunlop blueresponse are A rated in wet good in dry as well but sidewalls are a bit floppy. Steer clear of T1r's or paradas. ________________________________________ Black power baby!

Im trying to stick to the overall diameteer of the wheel, 195/50 is too little. Thing is, im in Uruguay. Very few options.I have to choose from: 195/50/15 Toyo T1R USD 167 Toyo Proxes 4 USD 154 Vredes Sportrac 5 USD 200 Khumo KU31 USD 130 Yoko C.Drive 2 USD 186 Dunlop FM 901 USD 134 and S.Drive 205/50 USD 186 Thats where i have to choose from, and i came down to the T1R´s vs S.Drive 205/50 |

You can't go wrong with the s drives wet or dry. I have a set in 195 55 15 which i paid 60 each for but they seem to have shot up since. Im not sure on the t1r, to me the sidewalls seem very soft. |
