Advice on tyres

[NAPLES VALVER 123]

hi,

Whats the best tyre size to have on my williams?
Theres the standard 185/55/15 or what about 195/50/15

I read on a previous post that some people change there tyre size,
so i was wondering which is best?

Any advice would be great thanks.

Its down to preference mate. The 195's will be cheaper :D

thanks,

whats the difference in looks then?

which tyre looks bigger/smaller? and on what part of the tyre does it look different

Also which one handles the best out of the two

i run both sizes and i like em both.
the original set (mich pilots)are a very old set hence a little noisey.the steering is lighter and they are very capable.
the 195's (yoko's) i think they call them directional tyres are also the dogs bolux and give the steering more bite not because of the size but i think because of the pattern.
i wonder what slicks are like

Don't get continental 185's I currently run them on latest car, bloody attrocious in wet. First car ran directional firestone 185's was happy with them. There is another thread somewhere here about tyres, I think there was plenty of good opinion on Eagle F1 195's, never heard of them before, but think your question will soon get you plenty of responses to think on.

yeah when i did the search i found alot of people rated the f1's

Does anyone have a picture of a wheel with the 185 and one with 195?

if you are worried about size, use this conversion chart which overlays the two different tyres and wheel sizes to show you the difference in profiles etc...
