parkesie Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 On standard wheels 195 could drop a aspect to 45 less sidewall flex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wezza9 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 they do not do either in a 45 profile side wall 50 or 55 even 888 are the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2_vti Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 hi wezza9, depends on which track you are going and how your car suspension is set up (toe/camber/weight etc.). if we are talking about small bhp car, generally 205 is a better choice with a bit of extra grip. however because your power is put down to the tyre surface against the ground, it accelerates a bit slower and not nimble as thinner tyre (tho i bet u won't notice the difference).personally i will choose advan ad08, but if only between 2 you mentioned, i will go for toyo r1r.

Aky Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 195.55.15 is perfect for the mb6 in my opinion.195.50.15 makes ride abit sharper and more harsh.205.50.15 is what I'm running atm, not liking them, too much side wall and ride is abit twitchy.Had all of above on dc2 alloys and will be going back to 195.55.15.Dc2 type r's don't come standard with them for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wezza9 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 but its the Dc2 org tyres that made the difference i was told that dridgestone designed them for the Dc2 very very stiff side wall was told harder than 50 profiles to fit there that stiffand the org tyre for dc2 is not that common now i think ( REO10 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasons Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 grap some 17" alloys and ex clio cup slicks (20/61/17 - like a 205/45/17), probably work out cheaper than less grippy semi slick road legals - and perform 10x better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
