Whats your tyre size choice for 172 cup

[Kyle 86]

Im going to be getting new rubber soon as my ps3's are on the limit. They are 195 45 16 but im thinking of going 205 45 16

What do you think peeps
Stick with 195 or switch to 205?

Cheers

I would just stick with the 195 personally. On a car just used for the road only, I see no benefit of switching up a size.

I was thinking of sticking with the 195 but the 205 look better on the turini's so if anything it will be for looks to maybe fill the arch gap ever so slightly

205s as the mrs drives it! Need I say more?

Protecting the rims then lol

I chose the Michelin Pilot Sport 3's, you don't get a great deal of choice with 195's but they are more than fine for me.

No rim protector at all FTL!

They get Slated but I just put 2 toyo T1R's on the front of my 182 and I had them on my previous 172 half the price of pe3's practically

 

[DomP182]

Sorry just re-read the question, I would fit the recommended 195s

195's, I put em on everything.

 

[Canary172]

195s. Less unsprung weight

195. I even run 195's on my nova and that has over 300bhp.

Also get some 15s on the cup, They transform the car and looks so much better!

Thats what it is mate fully forged calibra engine(c20let) with the f28 6 speed box. i Barely drive it tbh but makes it that much more fun when ya jump in it, the look it puts on supposedly superior car owners faces is absolutely priceless lol

I bet it puts a huge smile on ya face

Even if I see one now the 1st thing that comes to my head is hmmm I wonder if there's a Redtop lurking under the bonnet lol

ive always prefered look of 205s, so have had them on since first tyres needed changing.

prolly no benifit to them though
