Tire recommendation 205/55/15 or 205/50/15

[Currahee]

Any to recommend? seems to be tough to find the above sizing cos i prefer the width of the 205 compared to 195..

so far found Kumho SPT and Falken ST115

 

TIA

I don't think you can find the above 2 tires sizes easily here in Singapore.

Yokohama S drive has these sizes.

Whether u can find them in stock is another thing. i guess that only YHI would stock these relatively odd sizes, if they still do.

 

This is how i got my 205/55/15 the last time, in 2007.

first, i called up YHI to enquire about stocks availability. the stocks were incoming within 1 month, i think.

When the stocks are here, i called up PH (aka famous jewellery tyre shop in amk) to buy them. As you have probably heard by now, liaising with justin takes a considerable amount of effort & patience.

However, you will be amazed by the price differences, about $30 per tyre i think. Then again, maybe justin underquoted, thinking it was 195 rather than 205.

 

PS: when i last checked in 2007, Bridgestone re001 actually have such sizes too, but it never reached our SG shores then.

thanks for the replies..

ya think they are non-std sizes with the 205 width. but like the better cornering on the wider tyres :)
