Toalson:
Which contis u shortlisted? Do share ur review after change and run-in
bonjourmerci:
when i change my tyres recently, i was told by the shop that 205/55/16 will not fit.. thus i got 205/50/16.
so i guess there is conflicting views from bros and tyre shops

Was on RE001 now on PS3 and felt FC became worst could be EO, tire profile & more grippy or drive pattern change as got caught in more jams. lol
But the comfort is same with RE001 and grip is way better both in wet & dry. :thumbsup:

Looks like we are on the same setup. I also decided on the 205/55/16 PS3. So far so good, never rub fender or mud guards. And yes.... FC went up. Not sure why though. I weighted the PS3 vs RE001, PS3 lighter leh...= better FC? But i feel that the PS3 are better in the wet. Dry almost the same. Only slight disappoint is that I expected it to be much quieter than RE001 but they seem to be on par.

on 55 profile the immediate notice is the slow pickup from stationary. even on lighter weight rubber it still happen. thus it nothing to do with the weight of the rubber. the increase of profile will slow you down.
Mikal:
Can our latio sport take Hankook V12 195/55/15? Anyone on this size?
Thinking of changing as I heard V12 is grippier and quieter (and naturally more expensive) compared to my current 195/60/15 K415....
