About stock tires

[MIT]

hi guys,

I am a new owner of a P5, it still has stock 16" rims and stock dunlop tires 195/50/16, i can easily make the noise from the tires easily by stopping in front of a red light or turn a corner little faster. I used to drive an integra with lowered suspension and Pirelli 205/50/15, never have that happaned. If I should change tires, does the stock 16" rim support 205 or 215? any suggestion? or go for 17"?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, 205 will fit. The stock tires aren't that great.

See the rim/tire/suspension section.

widest possible 215/45/R16

more common 205/45/R16, 205/50/R16

have U considered upgrade to 17" rims n tires? stock rims are only 6" wide.

btw, U can always try search

Dumb answer, but if you're getting really abnormal amounts of tire squealing, check your tire pressure. Too little pressure = too much noise.

The stock tires aren't great performers, either though.....
