Author	Subject: 195/50/15 on Cyclones?
samjl Junior User Location: Stockport Registered: 17 Feb 2011 Posts: 85 Status: Offline	Post #1 I'm getting some Federal 595 RS-R's (R888 equivalents with more tread and less price!) but they only come in 195/50/15 and I know standard is 195/55/15. Is it ok to go with a 50 profile tyre over a 55 profile tyre. I realise it will knock my speedo out and maybe slightly less top end.

Plenty of people use 50 profiles all the time, they will just increase your arch gap if you've not lowered the car. ________________________________________ Renault Megane Renaultsport 230 F1 Team R26
