    guys may nabili me car ang tire size is 205/45/16 and i need to replace the rear na kasi its getting kalbo na, kaso that specific tire is too expensive, the lowest na nakita ko ay 3200 ang isa i forgot the brand but its made in indonesia. one tire dealer told me na mag 195/50/16 na lang ako pasok din daw yun sa mags ko. para mas makamura daw ako 2400 lang kasi yun. i need other opinions puwde nga ba yun? wala bang magiging problema yun if i place that size of tire sa rear ko? or should i place it in front kaya? or what? thanks po in advance hope somebody could help.

    IMO - unless you car is needs it (like some BMWs have wider rear tires)... stick to same size.

    The price difference (3200 less 2400) of 800 pesos per tire is not that much really... would you compromise your car's balance over 1600 pesos?

    like mentioned earlier, go with the same size tires for safety

    sorry i didnt notice that aside from the height difference, the width is not the same din pala...mine is virtually the same (front/rear), it's just the height that's different...
