hey,

i'm on 205/50/16. M exploring to change to 205/55/16 to make the ride looks 'better'. I read that pick up will be impacted. Would like to check whether there will be any concern going over high humps, having full load (ie. 4 adults at the back) and cornering stablity (due to slight increase of vehicle height).

Any advice for me?

thank u (:

Have been on 205/55/16 since day 2 of my ride, coming to 5 1/2 years now, no issue what so ever.

I'm currently running on 205/55/16. So far 3 ppl behind plus full boot to and fro malaysia(highway and trunk road) so far ok. 4ppl behind i think more likely suspension will bottom up instead. As for cornering stablilty, I increase pressure to 240 up from 230 when using 205/50/16. Higher pressure less tyre flex? Latio CG high so i guess not much diff. Overall look wise... better! The fender to tyre gap is less. Initially acceleration a bit more sluggish but got used to it. Intial FC after changing a bit higher for 2 weeks afterwhich, back to normal. Full tank till light come on 430-450km. 50% highway, 50% normal road.
Hope this helps.
