Yalo...so hard to decide..haiz...F1 D5 have 195/50/16?

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------



Ya...if diameter is smaller that is the only issue I am considor about it...
If diameter bigger I scare pickup heavier...bcoz my car power not very powerful...I have some frens same car as mine they changed to 205/45/17 but the diameter more bigger...

If I stick tov195/50/16 will very hard to find a good tyre...

Got abit intereste about Dunlop direzza Dz102...its noisy level almost same with S drive...got improve from Dz101
Nope F1-D5 does not have 195/50/16.
Like I suggested earlier, go for 205/50/16. I don't think you'll notice much difference in pick up or performance but you would notice better comfort compared to 205/45/16, even to 195/50/16. So with 205/50/16 you get more comfort and way better tire choices as well, plus your speedo might be more accurate, therefore more positive points as opposed to the negatives.

Top range tyres like T1-Sports and Yoko V105 smallest size is 205/55R16, which is too big for your car.
Like Conti Sports contact 5 starts in 17", the coming CSC6 start I think 19", Goodyear Asy2 also start 17", Michelin PSS starts 18", some of these tyres my VR also cannot use....hhahahhah

I think F1-D5 is higher than Hankook V2.

VR4 is Galant VR4, it's like the grandpa of Evo, before even Evo I.

Yes, 205/50 is actually quite thin already with 10.25cm of sidewall. IMHO in general sidewall between 10-11.5cm is the best balance between performance and comfort. If drop below 10cm I don't like anymore coz becomes too harsh, while taller than 11.5cm is too thick already, may feel too soft and does not look good too. Of course this is general guideline, which might not be applicable for some tires. For example if you use AD08R, it might feel much harsher/stiffer already even when sidewall is >10cm because the sidewall is pretty stiff due to steel inserts.
