205/45 16 PE2 are the best all round road tyre..fullstop...fitted to my 172 cup

Most will agree, rain or shine excellent..

195/45 is what they came out the factory with but 205 is a better width

 

[Phill1978]

195/45 is what they came out the factory with but 205 is a better width

why ? and can you get PE2`s with that width

seems v.expensive compared.

any cup owners running 205 ? does it effect crispness of turn direction change etc..

better on track as well?

 

[Phill1978]

yea is 195 worse for track i.e were they put on to reduce road noise and save manufacturer money or is there a reason for not running 205 ? is this a lower profile

 

[thedoc]

same profile "45"

I've got 195's on my cup and the rims are dangerously exposed. Does a 205 cover the rim properly or can i go to a 215/40R16 ?

You can go either option..205 it the best for the road.

Running 205/40/16 Yokohama Parada spec 2's on my Cup and extremely pleased with them in wet and dry. Nice and square to the rim aswell and don't crash over bumps, not the most important thing but they look the business aswell.
