Tyre help 195 or 205?

[cwmitch]

Hi all I'm after a little bit of advice on tyres I'm moving
from 15" to 16" now my prob is the tyres aren't that great
which means new tyres on top of the cost of the wheels. I
had a quick check and there seems to be a fair bit of a price
difference between 195 or 205s well in PE2's anyway. So any
advice which way to go good or bad!

I'd stay on 15's if I were you. Thinking of going from 16@s to 15@s so it rides better.

If you're getting 16's then I'd personally definitely recommend 205. I've recently goe from 195 to 205's on the Cup and the ride is so much smoother, and I also have to mount kerbs everyday in my road, so the tyre width prevents wrecking the wheels...

Cheers for the reply's. I take your point about the
16" V 15" although it's a bit late as I've aready got
the 16" rims. Thanks for the advice on the 205's

I always get 195s as the price hike for 205s is steep. Do thay handle MUCH better on 205s? Aren't the 182s OEM tyres 205?
