Wanted to ask is there any tyres apart from continental premium contact 2, bridgestone potenza RE050a for this size?

I'm not looking for eco tyres, if possible i wanted slight performance series. Hence goodyear excellence is out of my way.

can try michelin Primacy HP

that tyre i think is definitely not within my budget, I've searched that before, it costs like RM9xx per tyre?

Hence I wonder why it is so expensive.

Quite a few options really.
Could try the new Dunlop D05, Bridgetone RE003 is quite good, Hankook Noble V12. Quite an option available.

Cannot be that expensive for your size.

Tyre Size Load Index Speed Index Price Including GST
16 195/55R16 87 V RM1061.05

This is from michelin malaysia official website, hmm, anyone has any opinion why they are so expensive?

Bridgestone RE003 confirm don't have the size of 195/55r16, minimum 205, too wide for my stock 6JJ rim.
Hankook and dunlop don't have official website in malaysia, hence cannot confirm the availability of 195 tyres for R16 rim.

That's the official suggested retail price but most shops are selling much cheaper than that. It seems those prices also have not been updated for a long time.

Michelin mar, the most expensive rubber in Malaysia.

What car you using? Is that the original tyre size? If can use 205 would be better, more choice and much cheaper too. 205/50R16 less than RM300 per donut.

Honda City 2014, sadly my 6JJ R16 rim cannot fit 205, at least it's not suitable to fit 205 to get the full potential of the tyre, because 6JJ are too small for it.

On the other hand, I did not think of changing the rim because it was original rim from honda that made by Enkei.

So I think I can only look for 195/55 or 50/r16, that's the largest size I can get to fit the rim.

But even the price is cheaper, seems like it's still at least double of normal 195/55r16 tyres..

your tyre original size isn't it 185/55R16? you can go back to the original size, tyre also not expensive and more choice.
or alternatively you can go for 195/50R16, also not expensive and more choice

But for me 185/55R16 are slightly narrow, if possible i want a larger tyre that suites the rim as well, which is 195 for 16 inches 6JJ rim.

However even if 185/55R16, only have eco tyres around this range. which are Michelin XM2 and so on.

195/50R16 then, much nearer to your original tyre diameter size. Also this size is easier to find.

Any example? haha. Because I've been looking for this 2 size, either 55 or 50 as the ratio for 195 width R16.

Continental MC5, Michelin PS3. Almost all brands got this size.

Michelin PS3, confirm don't have 195 for R16, R15 then yes..
Continental MC5, it's not towards performance one. In that case Continental Premium Contact 2 will be the only choice still...

Oh ya forgot last time I also looking for this size but dont have.
I think Toyo also have this size.

Its very hard to find tyres for 195/50/16, most fiesta users with stock 195/50/16 change to 205/45/16

I mean easier in the sense that it is easier than 195/55R16.
Yeah, 205/45R16 would be a better choice but since he say his rim can't use 205...
IINM Goodyear and Hankook also have 195/50R16 size.

What's the width of your rim? 6.5JJ? or 7JJ?

6jj can fit 205 tyres. Me using swift sport ori 6jj rim with 205/45/r16 rubber

But it won't be too 'wide' for 6JJ rim or damage the sidewall indirectly?

highly recommended neuton nt8000.. using it on my honda city.. now on 2nd set of tires..

it can last about 60K.. grip dry&wet, better than conti cpc2..

nope. If it is within the spec, it is fine. However I am looking for 195/50/r16 or 205/50/r16 for a lil more comfort.

My Crz rim 16 6jj, I choose to fit with ,Michelin primacy 3st, 205/55/r16 rm350 per donut not including gst

How much the damage ?

Is it difficult to find neuton in Malaysia? Especially in Penang.

what is the recommendation for 205/45/16 above average donut?

the price is 200 per donut (before gst ya)..

ya, it not easy to find neuton.. some more size 195/55/16, have to survey a lot!

Running on used but almost brand new CRZ rims, wrapped in 195/55R16 Dunlop LM704 donuts new when fitted to these alloys.

If my memory serves me right, the tire shop at Rj Uda also had Turanza ER33 or ER30 of the same size back in March this year. But in general, 205/60R16 would be much easier to hunt.

If want to change size, 205/50R16 would be nearer to original size, 205/55R16 different too much.

Made a typo in my earlier post.

Right but I fitted them onto a people carrier,so going down to thinner rubber would mean sacrificing comfort

Newbie here, appreciate any1 can help.
My car original tyres size 195/55/16, able to switch to 205/55/16?

No, your speedometer will not be accurate. General guidelines for tires upsize or downsizing is to stay within 3% of the OEM diameter. You can use 205/50R16 tires. My car tire size is the same as yours
