    listen to this guy!!

    60 profile = ballooon stylin, we dont like balloon stylin around here :lol:

    i got 195/50 on 7's, ive been running 185/60 last few weeks (different wheels), and the grip difference is significant, 185/60=to much tire wall flex, and not enough fubber on the road, i also had 205/60, i found this tyre to be too wide (to heavy steering) scrape on everything, and extremely balloon like. very grippy though.

    195/50/r15 DO_EEETTT

    What about 185/55/15s on 15x7 0 offset.. lowered?
    Will the increase in profile vs decrease in width still scrub?

    Wider tyres = more grip,

    ( I ask cos I coudlnt wait 1 week for 195s and opted for 185s on special today)
