hey i was wonerin if i buy 195/50/15 tires on my Si rims,
is this too small? will it ride ruff? i don wanna go 205/50
cause i herd that this is too wide and will slow u down and
195/55 is the original but i want a shorter profile so it wont
flex a lot?

It won't hurt your car, I run that profile on mine, the advantage is tire selection, and stiffer side walls.

It may change your alignemnt a bit so have it checked afterwards, more positive camber.

BTW if you are worried about stiff keep the tire pressure at 28-29 psi

BTW the Bridgestone RE-730s have a very stiff sidewall, and the 80$ a piece they are the best all around tire at 195-50-15
