[Toalson]

185/55R15 is an odd size n price for them is rather ex. I used to use them.

 

From what I gather [ol] [*]Falken 326 & 512 [*]Continential CPC & CPC2 [*]Bridegstone GIII [*]Firestone wideoval [*]Yokohama C-Drive, Aspec dB [*]Goodbrich GF sport (if not wrong, paiseh not sure spelling)[/ol]

GR80 doesnt have low profile sizes. They're for comfort.

Oh is it, the last time I took a look at their sales brochue from autobacc, they only should very limited sizes

 

I might have read the old data. Wanted to try them actually.

Wat abt 185/XX/R14?

 

Anyway, does comfort tires able to neutralise the effect of lowering suspension and vice vesa... low profile tires to neutralise the increase in height of suspension?

[Toalson]

U referring to 185/60R14 I presume.

 

Comfort bias low profile tires cant so-call "neutralise" the effect of lowering. Lowering usually result in slightly harsher ride but improve handling. N for better handling, these tires oso have to hard side walls if not the handling benefits might not be maximised.

 

Its quite the same principle of FC & power. U cant really have the best of both world. I could be wrong based on my limited knowledge.
