I thought of changing the 45 tyres to 50 maybe in the future.. the 45s are too bumpy for me..
Nope, 205/50R16 is 3.66% bigger in diameter. Speedo meter reading out, heavy pick up. slowing down from high speed needs heavier braking force....
Should have thought of the ride, then go for 205/50R15 only...:biggrin:

Yup, always try to keep within 3% change.
You can try 195/50R16 for a bit more comfort, or look for some comfort performance tyres like Yoko C-Drive 2

Also there are no big competitions for the F70 yet, but after Ferrari will launch this supercar on the market for sure many auto-makers will try to build competitors for it.
