Anyone running 195/50/r15s ??

[7MAT]

I'm looking to put some PE2s road tyres on my new Speedline 15" 2118 purchased from D4VE.

Looking on the Mytryes website I can get the following;

Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 205/50/15 @ £88.90
Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 195/50/15 @ £52.60

Most people I've chatted to recommend the 205s, but the 195s are soo much cheaper.

Is anyone running 195/50/15? What are the pros & cons?

I've a couple of sets of track tyres in 195/50/15 (and 195/55/15 I think)...

Can'tr say I've ever 'noticed' anything different of note about any of them.

For the cost difference you;'ve got there, 195s all day long.

Renault sold in Mexico all clio sport (172 & 182) with 195/50/r15

Hi Mat, just to let you know www.blackcircles.com do them for 46 quid each . And 195 will be fine.

I found the car felt better on the 195's/ 50's.

Much more agile, found it felt a bit slower to turn in, and tramlined more on the 205's.

i love my 15's

Hoping to pick up some 15s soon as my tyres on std alloys will need replacing in a couple of months. Are the PE2s still the tyre of choice for them then?

 

[Djw John]

Yeah 195s are spot on imo

 

[MarkCup]

There's so many options available, load more than on 16s. I've not run PE2s on 15s, but then I have a wierd choice in tyres in that I actually rate Yokohama A539s LOL so pay no attention to me!

Well I used to run Toyo T1R's on my old Puma, I much preferred them over Eagle F1's because of the stiffer sidewall. Plus a local fitter is a Toyo dealer and can do them for a very good price - so I may well try them first.

I ran my R888's for a few months as couldn't be bothered to swap over.

Took a bit of getting used to the exaltos afterwards:race:

 

[Fred@BTM]

they look wrong and aren't as good, why PE2's?? get Toyo T1-R 205/50 15 MUCH MUCH cheaper
