Ic...means if I use 205/45/17 on my car will feel heavier and more fuel consumption than 205/50/16?

Yup, but for FC all depends on your right foot too......hahhahhahaha

But the weight for 16" and 17"almost same right?

Should be about the same, as 16" you have 50 series and 17" is 45 series....

XL is only higher load range. If not required not much difference....

If want some comfort then 205/50R16 will be better. Tyre diameter also closer to original, just 1.39% bigger compared to 205/45R17 which is 2.21% bigger. Got same width of 205, but if performance in handling 45 series will be better. Cornering less flex of the sidewall but ride is bumpier but looks better. Pros and cons .......hahahha

IMHO it's a no brainer decision, go with the 16 like everybody suggested already. 205/50 will give you 10.25cm sidewall (so 1 cm thicker than 205/45) and still have some comfort left while already quite thin to sharpen up handling, and still looks nice too.

High speed performance depends more on the tire class & brand that you buy. If you buy UHP class tires like Michelin PS3, Goodyear F1, Yokohama S-Drive or the likes then no issue handling those speeds (provided you're a good driver with a decent, healthy car of course!). I'm using 215/50 & 245/45 which are even thicker than 205/50 and no issue touching 210-220kph using GY F1 tires.

Get PS3, the best all rounder in the market. The others you mentioned above are not as good, even muhc lower performance class.

inclu re002 also lower performance?actually now i using ps3 size 195/55/15 i quite like this tyre...but scare the price will very high at 205/50/16...but ps3 is a old pattern tyre right?

I think still lower, the traction rating is only A compared to PS3 AA.
PS3 is a few years old but still one of the top if not still the top all round UHP class tire, especially for relatively smaller sizes. Others that I know are almost the same performance class and also available in smaller sizes are only GY F1-D5 and Yokohama S-Drive.

Dry grip RE002 should be better. Everything else goes to PS3 I think?

Could be close but if you do not want too much flex on the sidewall then 17" better, but will loose out on comfort...

If 17"will suffer with the pickup right?

Not sure, I'm just not really convinced much about Bridgestone anymore since in most comparison reviews they're mostly beaten now by Michelin, GY, Continental, even their top of the line. On top of that, their prices are also expensive, so if I have to pick I might as well go with Michelin etc2.

Depends on how heavy your rims are. If you use 17' forged rims vs standard/replica/regular 16' rims then the 17' will still be much lighter and hence improve acceleration, fuel consumption, and braking. For example my 17x8.5jj rims only weigh 7kg while my std 16x7jj rims weigh almost 10kg! So when buying rims, buy the lightest you can afford.

Ic...how i can know the weight of the rims?I think my stock rims quite heavy too

I'd understand if Michelin and GY. Continental? That's a new story. What's their UHP and Extreme model? Would want to have a look.

Just weigh it. Heheh.
