Čaute, mám takú dilemu idem si kúpiť nové plášte a rozmýšľam nad ráfikmi. Mám 1,6 tdi kombi (90ps) a teraz mám 16 komét od Romstera s 205/45/16. Rozmýšľal som nad 17-kou ale neviem alebo prídem o veľa pohodlia a výkonu. Dokonca som mal predstavu že tam dám 15 ale dá mi to malé ráfiky ale zase asi celkom pohodlné. Je možné mať na aute 17, keď idem na STK. Lebo co som pozeral na moje auto je max 16 ráfikov ale viem ze niektore maju aj 18 ráfiky ale to sú asi VR. Má niekto skúsenosti s pneumatikami 205 55 R16? Lebo som čítal, že moja škodovka je na 205 45 R16. Myslím, že rozmer 55 je lepší pre ochranu disku a lepší komfort. Možno to znie trochu mätúco, ale ďakujem za každú radu a spätnú väzbu.

Hey, I have such a dilemma I'm going to buy new tires and I'm thinking about rims. I have a 1.6 tdi station wagon (90ps) and now I have 16 comets from Romster with 205/45/16. I've been thinking over 17 but I don't know or I'll lose a lot of comfort and performance. I even had the idea that I would put 15 there but it would give me small rims but again probably quite comfortable. It is possible to have 17 on the car when I go to the MOT. Because what I looked at my car is a maximum of 16 rims, but I know that some of them also have 18 rims, but these are probably VR. Does anyone have experience with 205 55 R16 tires? Because I read that my Skoda is on 205 45 R16. I think size 55 is better for disk protection and better comfort. It may sound a little confusing, but thank you for any advice and feedback.

I have a mk3 Fabia with 17 inch rims and 215/45/17 tyres as standard, ride is ok on smooth and motorway but bumppy on b roads  the car has a 6 speed box so gearing is not a issue, the spare wheel is a steel rim 195/65/15, last year the dealership who serviced the car wrecked 2 rims on thier ramp, they thought I would not notice and tried to blame it on me but to thier dismay I'm a old hat at this game and had taken photos before car went into the garage on thier forcourt so no problems there, They coiuld not supply a replacement car so I gave them an option of new alloy rims with my tyres refitted or a lend of 3 steel wheels for a few days to get rims repaired, running the car on 4 195/65/15's was strange handeling suffered and gearing odd seemed to pull better but a lot more revs at higher speeds but ride comfort was great, so  I don't think going to 17 inch would be the best idea but I think the 16 inch with low profile would be better for handeling but compfort might suffer and perhaps you might have to use a lower gear to get up hills but would benifit on motorway runs 

The outside diameter of 205/55R16 is too big for the Fabia MK2.

 

Maybe try 185/65R14 on 6Jx14 ET37 rims. It's a cheap tyre size and very comfortable.

One thing to note is that the handling, ride, comfort and noise of a tyre has a lot to do with its design and manufacturer rather than just the size.

 

A cheap make and/or model of tyre will possibly be hard wearing on the tread (but might develop cracks inside the tread and/or sidewalls sooner) but may well give less grip, handling, comfort and more noise.

 

A better quality designed and made make and/or model of tyre with help with braking, steering, suspension, handling and ride quality and noise.

 

As with a lot of things in life don't just go on size only.
