    Just seeing as 195's are £260 fitted balanced etc at my local tyre place, i thought it was quite reasonable and it turns out it is. Compared to the last time he quoted £340.

    from what ive heard from those running 205's, theres no benefit, you will barely notice it atall
    
    you have to remove arch liners and do a bit of work on the rear arches.
    
    both guys i know running them say they'd go back to 195's again
    
    205 looks cool as fuck when your behind one though, aggro stance

    In that R888s have more grip in the dry and damp and the T1Rs are only better in standing water lol
    
    To be fair, i thought the R888s were bad in the wet until i have had the pleasure of driving on A539s for a while, they are in fact worse in every way!
