Putting 205/45 on front and 195/45 on rear...

[santoz]

I've got two 195/45/16 PE2's brand new but can't get anymore but I can get 2x 205/45/16 PE's for pretty cheap. Was wondering about putting the wider tyre on the front for more grip and the narrower tyre on the rear?

I know a few of the older citreons done this and a few fwd racers do it as well?

Has anyone tryed this setup and what should I expect?

Regards

don't do it!
Why can't you get 195 50 15?

why dont you get 2 f1s in 195 mate there awesome tires imo. or if not id put the 205 at the rear

Cars will fail a MOT also with wider tryes on front (if not factory spec)

think i'll go for gsd3 f1's on the front £61 from camskill

also what characteristics will change going from 205 to 195, i'm aiming for a weight reduction as the tyres are going on oz superleggera's!

just held a normal 182 wheel in one hand then a superleggera in the other, massive difference lol!

imo i prefer the 195s to the 205s it tramlines alot less plus there cheaper

Thanks guys
