currently using Michelin XM2+ 185 / 55 / 16 and I need to change them soon.
is the Hankook VP4 205 / 50 / 16 a good choice or is it a downgrade ?
running them on a Honda City GM2.
thanks.

QUOTE(amscouzach57 @ Dec 13 2023, 10:20 AM) Should be an upgrade. VP4 should be in the same category as Primacy would the size increase be a problem ? 185 to 205 ... rim size 16inch 7jj et42 ... This post has been edited by eddy230379: Dec 13 2023, 07:28 PM |

QUOTE(General_Nic @ Dec 13 2023, 08:21 PM) 7JJ can fit up to 215 safely that was what I was worried about ... but need check the extra tyre width will hit the wheelwell or not 195 is the ideal choice for many Honda City GM2 users but sadly the VP4 doesnt come in 195 / 50 / 16 ... switching back to stock size of 185 / 55 / 16 is an option as that is the OEM size and the VP4 does come in that size ... |

QUOTE(amscouzach57 @ Dec 14 2023, 08:41 AM) Need to ask other GM2 owners that have used 205/50R16 size. 195 / 50 / 16 seems to be perfect but not available for VP4 ...I'm using the same size for Persona 2017. It does hit the wheel arc during nasty bumps. Planning to switch to 195/50R16 after this set. sad ... what are the next best options besides xm2+ ???
