fordie_glanzaV Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Looking at trying out the rainsport 3 in 195/50/15.Been told tyre walls are fairly chunky.. anyone got any pics or is it worth dropping to a 45 profile. Cheers Edited March 2, 2016 by fordie_glanzaV Quote
daniel_g Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Mine are a 50 and look too chunky. I'll defo go to a 45 next time for rainsports. Quote
fordie_glanzaV Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 Christ they do look chunky... may have to go 45 then if i do go for them... Cheers mate... Just want a cheap decent tyre just to get the car on the road... also thinking proxies as it aint gunna see the rain lol Quote
H_D Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 im running these 195 45 16 and they still look chunky Quote
Ep82gi Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Chunky Loool try them in a 60 on 14s now that's chunky hahaha Quote
Westley Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I'd say go to 45's I was torn between 50 and 45's but went for 195/50 and I agree they look chunky still so ill be going 45's next time round I think Quote
Dale SR Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Theaee are really good tires but I have found the tread disappears rather quick Quote
H_D Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 they work well when its wet/rainy but rather shit in the dry Quote
aleximport25 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 ive got 50's and they look huge ive got 10mm stretch and they still look chunky as hell. 45's and some slight stretch,i cant comment on the wear yet though Quote
fordie_glanzaV Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 If i go rainsports defonately be 45s i think. Thanks for all your input... will have to see what happens lol Quote
dazzariley69 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Brilliant water dispersal in wet conditions, i would go proxies if your only driving in the nicer months of the year. Nice and soft compound and stick well on warm Tarmac Quote
Amjad Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Just so you're aware they measure up 10mm narrower than stated Quote
fordie_glanzaV Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 Yeh its only going to be driven in good weather now I've got a daily... Ideally want ado8r's but som Many other things i need to sort 1st so just want something half decent till i can afford what i want... Quote
