I was wondering, since 15" rims can fit, did anyone try 195/50/15 tires on the ti? I'm aware that the tacho will be wrong but the car will also be probably a little more nervous and fun to drive? but I'm worried (sue me) about the looks as well... | | | 11-14-2013, 03:25 PM | #2 | Member Join Date: Sep 2013 Location: Summerville, SC Posts: 40 | Can't think of any reason they wouldn't fit. My M spec has 225/50 16's | | | 11-15-2013, 03:29 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | I think those tires are going to be too small, you'll lose fuel economy and be putting more wear on your car because the smaller tires need to spin more to cover the same distance | | | 11-27-2013, 11:10 PM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2013 Location: france Posts: 3 | I don't really care about the extra mileage as I don't intend to sell the car. it'll be a daily driver for a few month and then most likely become my trackday toy what I like about the idea is to add some "nervousness" to the thing, and also the cheap quality tires, I'm not after performance or fuel economy, mostly fun. as far as I know (which isn't much tbh) I think track/compact cup tis run 195/50/15 rubber. | | | 11-28-2013, 01:51 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Wichita Falls, Texas Posts: 1,364 | My fifteen inch oem steelies are noticeably more responsive than a set of seventeen inch DSI's that I have, both shod with all weather tires. 15's = more fun. 16's and 17's = a smoother ride. If you have oem steelies think about painting them the color of your car...I like the look. | | | 12-01-2013, 06:07 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2010 Location: Montreal Posts: 283 | I was going to say no to installing these on your car, but from my research that is what is used on the compact cup. Google the rules...
