Hi there,

I had a quick look and F1 sport seem like a good choice. Based on its brochure, its wet braking is the same as asymmetric 5 see PS4 vs asymmetric 5

In my opinion sounds like a good choice if you are going for wet without regards for mileage performance.

Don't forget to put your fresh pair or tires at the rear.

Hopes this helps.

For awareness, does this tyre cracking bring safety concern? It's merely 4 years old tyre.
Also, new tyre shell life 1-2 years shouldn't be any performance lost right? Some even say it's better to have a 6 months shelf tyre than a fresh tyre. Your expert view ?

Tires can be still used. However just monitor your tire more frequently ( 2 weeks once ) for a more cautions approach. If there are chunks of material peeling off at a high rate, it needs to be look at once again.

Thanks.

This 175/60R15 is definitely a unique size as my tire price table yields no results.

It seems like an off size which not many top brands are in. A quick check only good year has this size. No clue about it's performance but I guess you have not much choices 😜

You can have a quick look on my inch up tool here.

Based on my check it's not really an option.

Ok sorry but the principal holds the same.

you are shifting from 195/55R16 to 205/55R16 which means

current outer diameter: 620.9mm

Target size outer diameter: 631.9mm

= 1.74% difference.

usually the industry standard is <3%, so it should fit.

Do check you have 10 mm wide space and also extra 10mm clearance needed for your outer diameter.

First question: You should based on your tire tread depth to gauge whether you need to change tire & not based on mileage. Measure it via a ruler and it should be legally more than 1.6mm.

2nd question. If there is not price difference, fore sure you should got with PS5 with improved wet braking.

Thanks.
