Lower profile is all well and good, but go up the slightest kerb and you'll know about it.

I ran 195/45/16 for a while on the standard alloys mainly to stop the front tyres scrubbing the arches, they were slightly cheaper too.

I bought my 182 with 195's on the front...felt just fine and no issues...however, recently migrated back to 205 PE2's, and they certainly feel more planted and supple. Also keep in mind that the although lower profile, it's a percentage of the width, so the overall reduction (in radius) is only 3.9mm

wot bt 205 40 16

I had 195's when i bought my Clio. Now i've got 205's and it's much more stable.

To add, i fitted Hankook V12 Evo's.. Awesome for the price.

£106 each on camskill for PS3s??? Bit pricey, no?? I had 17 inch GSD 3's on my ST170 for less...... Coni sport contacts are £84 each for 182 size...... they any good??

 

[Tony Hunter]

OP say's budget isn't an issue.£106 for ps3's is a good price.

 

[steviet]

Fair one. Are the contis any good then?? Ive some cheapo ditchfinders on at the minute and cant be bothered waiting for them to wear out!!

 

[Tony Hunter]

I don't now,I have no experience of the lower end of the tyre market.

Haha, Well im currently on these. http://www.camskill.co.uk/m62b0s344p29642/COOPER_TYRES_CAR_COOPER_ZEON_2XS_-_205_45R16_83W_TL_ And theyre rubbish, especially in the wet. I thought the contis were OE on the 182??

 

[Tony Hunter]

No,Pe2's were standard fitment on the 182,but alas have now been replaced by the Ps3's
