195's are perfect on a clio imo. You must be using crap tyres, or it's all that dust down under

Could be tyre pressures too. I think I have higher expectations as my 205 was on 195's with 910kg, not 1100kg. Was just a little more grippy through low speed corners.

My tyres are KU36's (almost semi slick).

is there a reason than none of you run 205 instead of 195s?

thanks steve

Incorrect rolling radius if running 205/50.


Its the compound that matters not the surface area

And rubbage issues.

I really hope people on here are wrong - I read the 205/50's are the perfect tyre for 2118s on a cup
And i'm collecting mine today *eek*

Interested to hear your views when using them, as I was thinking of sticking 205's on next time

 

[domlebo70]

I've never heard of people getting rubbing with 205/50 :S

 

[Cro]

Mine rub like there's no tomorrow on 205/50 even now that i've had to raise it up still does in some parts. NEVER rubbed on the 195/45/16s back at its lowest

205/50 15's =

 

[domlebo70]

So can we get a verdict. Are 205/50's good to fit to 2118's on lowered cars? How low? Sportlines springs.

Thinking of going semi slicks in 205/50. Should be serious grip.

I went with what Fred suggested (he even managed to get an awesome deal on the tyres for me at short notice). Haven't looked back to be honest, they have been awesome and look just right (imo)

I've got 195/50/15 but 205's are fine. Whatever floats your boat really.
