best tyre size for a williams

[bill.]

whats the best tyre size combination to put on the standard williams rims, for handling/performance? should you stick with 185's or go wider/lower?


is there already a thread on this?

ps. whats the widest profile you can get on these rims?

cheers

some run 185's other run 195's...i think maybe even 205's

I run the 185's but I guess its personal choice

185/55/15

can of worms lol most people use 195/50s as they are much cheaper but mines on 185/55s and I like it...not sure if i'd pay though the nose for them though..

My willy alloys have 195/50/15 tyres around them

having now run both the 185 55 15 and 195 50 15

If i was buying another set i would defo get 195 50 15

the cars no way near as good on 185's.

if you drive normally most of the time and want comfort it's a no brainer, 185/55, but when you do finally get your foot down and push it through the bends they dont really last that long and the side walls wear like a mother ****er... 195/50 are also half the price... imo 195/50 all the way, handles better, but is a bit more bumpy, but for half the cost it's more than worth it.

Defo 195/50 for me!
And not just because of the price.

yer i agree. i have had 195/50/15 on the white alloys and the tyre wall was noticeably toucher and much less flex. i have 185/55/15 currently on and when these wear down i will put some semi slick 195/50 on
