Actually, the car is a Cordoba Vario sdi. I put the topic in the
Ibiza forum because I kept the rims and tires from my old
Ibiza tdi and I thought the
Ibiza guys would know the size of Evo rims. I'm not going to alter the suspension, since it's a car I only use to commute to work. I want it to be low cost, but still safe... I do around 25.000kms each year about 70% highway.
I have these cheap Champiro front tires that my dad bought once. They are dangerous in wet and provide no grip at all. I had them on the rear wheels of my
Ibiza first and after doing a 180 two times on a roundabout (not going fast at all) I put them on the front axle. They spin when accelerating with a 64hp sdi in the wet. And they slide all over the place when trying to brake and are very sensitive to aquaplanning. With the tdi, they would sometimes spin when accelerating in dry conditions. I was going to wear them out, but after +30.000kms they still have 6mm of profile depth left. I'll probably crash my car before they wear out, so I'm sick of waiting and will replace them.
The rear tires are Zero Nero. They do their job well and seem to wear ok.
I'm thinking either Toyo Proxes 4 or Toyo Proxes T1R. But I can't decide on the size. I'll probably go with the 195/45 but was wondering if a 185/50 would fit as well. I think the 185/50 would have a little less grip in dry conditions, better breaking in wet (less aquaplanning), more comfort (sidewall would be 5mm higher) and a
lower price.
The 195/45 would be
lower then the 205/45, as Fl@pper said, which worries me. But the 185/50 would be around 5mm higher then the 195/45 and about the same as the 205/45. Would a 185/50 even fit or is it too small?
