    Hey guys,

    Currently using 205/40 R17s and planning to switch to 195/50 R15s this weekend.

    I've still been contemplating on making the switch... How much difference would the change in tire and rim size make? Would you say its worth it?

    Also, planning on getting Maxxis tires for the 195/50 R15s...

    Hoping for some feedback!

    Thanks Sarsi!

    Also, which would you guys prefer? Kumho (P2,900) or Maxxis (2,600)?

    Parang I want to try out the Maxxis, since I've heard good reviews with it naman and it's cheaper. The problem lang is the shop where I'm going to buy the new rims doesn't have Maxxis, so I have to bring it somewhere else for the tires.

    195/55/15 ang EXACT size ratio ng 205/40/17.
    + Comfort.

    How big of a difference would there be on 50 series vs. 55 series in terms of comfort?

    I'm afraid of losing a bit of the sportier look if I choose the 55, especially since I'm planning to get Kumhos which they have said here to have a bigger looking sidewall..
