What tires should i get?

[DiegoRF]

I am not thinking in autocross, I just want to keep the mass rotation the lower I can.

I got some options, here they are:


Toyo Proxes 4 195/50R15, Weight 16.5 lbs
Toyo Proxes T1R 185/55R15, Weight 15.9 lbs
Toyo Proxes T1R 195/45R15, Weight 15.7 lbs

Yokohama S-Drive 185/55R15, weight 18 lbs

I think Yokohama tires are too heavy, what tires should I buy?

Not just mass, but the radius/circumference of the tires. 195/50r15 would be 1.5 % smaller then stock, effectively giving you somewhat higher final drive compared to stock (shorter gears, better acceleration, lower top speed). Even more so with 195/45r15. Might be just what you want...

So 195/50 would give lower top speed? yes im interested in better acceleration but I dont want lower top speed... thanks

It's not _that_ much of a difference -- for 195/50, from the top of my head, it's something like 1%-1.5%, no more.

For autox, the top speed is hardly ever a factor, and I doubt for the street use it's much of difference either.
