SOD all that! Dont you realise you can get Dunlop's in 195/40/16? That should solve youre problem, ohh and they are about £80 a tyre...

Well, i've had Hankooks and Falken tyres at various times and the tread pattern on the Hankooks is better and they are a longer lasting tyre for the same money, at least where i buy them from anyway.

I've got them on the rear, rubbed on 17s et42 lowered 40mm but doesn't with arch bolts removed. Look crap from the side but do have a very curved profile, not square cut so might help and again, not the best in the wet. I would go for Hankook Ventus, same price range and i believe a better tyre.

my car is -40mm, but it rubs due to wheel width being 7.5".

Will the falken tyres help?? or shud i get toyos as they are cheapish also?

Are these any good?
I have heard that they have a thin sidewall design, which may help to stop my rubbing at the rear. I currently have 195/46/16 Continental Rainsports which supposibly have very big sidewalls.
The fronts are now nrealy bare, so i was gonna put the good condition rear tyres on the front and put the thin Falkens on the back to try to help cure the rubbing?

my whells are ET45 7.5" x 16's thus the rubbing, anyone know if these tyres will rub less than my current ones?? Anyo other tyres with thin sidewalls u can reccomend?????
