205-50-15 tyres

I bought some yoko ao-32s a little while back in the above profile, is that a good set up to use all round or should i keep these for the back and put some 195's on the front? its only 10mm difference I know but was just wondering what people ran on theirs and how it performed? thanks

Can't believe the number of guys who are on here while they're at work... I haven't gone in yet - too early.

I will be running 215's cause that's the smallest that will fit my nifty Rota 13 x 8 " rims. Might get some narrower ones then. The other option is just to go faster everywhere and hope you never have to parallel park anywhere.

I changed from very hard 205/50s to soft 195/55s and didn't notice any change to the steering feel but it does grip better.

I may in future go back up to 205 on the rear as they filled the arches slightly better and should give a better launch, but they are more expensive that the 195's by a fair margin thanks to the world of ebay.





Summer's here!!!!
