Would putting 195's on my 15's be a bad move or would they be just as good as 205's..?
-
Will be fine mate and look a lot better IMO :smiley:
-
yeah 195's are alot better...look is soooooo much better
-
195's all the way :smiley: - 195/45/15 ftw
-
id stick with the 205 more grip and you need all the grip you can get from the standard wheel/tyre combo

handles better with 195's
-
less rubber on the road how can it handle better?
-
thats why they fit wider tyres =more grip
-
i aint got a clue just going on what iv been told in the past by my mate who works at tyre fitting places, something to do with the sidewall which is not as tall
they will be better on fuel aswell, and also look alot better, not to mention they are cheeper than 205's?
-
195 better tighter side walls :shocked: :shocked: really !!!!
-
bullsh!t mate -stretched tyre can cause shoulder burns(more pressure on sidewall) -giving you a blowout.

Whos mentioned stretched??? Maybe a 195 on a 9inch wide rim not a standard VAG alloy :laugh:
I think Daz is after 195's to stop scrubbing issues anyroad
-
205 on a 15" are standard size on the bbs -195's are too narrow less contact with the road thats why the vr has 205's standard :smiley: read the rest off the thread :laugh:
-
not sure the early VR6 had 205, think they had 195's actually, could be wrong but who gives a f**k anyhow :grin: :grin:

:undecided: :undecided:
car dose handle very well on a OEM set up must be the dogs @@@@@ lowered !!!
-
Iv read it all saul.... Your point is valid regarding 205 as standard but saying 195 on the standard is stretched :laugh: :laugh:
Hardly.. its about as stretched as a virgins fanny :grin:
-
i dont mean it like that as in on a 9" rim -hard to explain in words and i aint going to bore anyone with it lol. :laugh:
-
you mean when people stretch rubber on their 8 or 9 inch bbs splits etc, which is fair enough coz their is a risk factor in that but not by putting 195 on a 6.5 inch wide standard rim :drool:
-
yes but you do have less grip with 195 's on then the 205's :grin: :grin:
-
i use both 195 front and 205 rears..... it did grip better with 205's all round but then again my fronts now are ditchfinder specials!!

Ok ok :tongue: think i might go with the Falken 512's at 195/50/15 as for some reason i need all the space i can get. (cheaper aswell).

Had 195s on the front of mine (didn't drive it too hard, mind) but really couldn't tell the difference. But then I don't track day or Gary about anymore - I'm too damn old... :cry:
