According to
195 50 16 Tyres reviews - TyreReviews , the best tire for this size is the Vredestein Sportrac 5, which I dont think I can get it locally, Michelin Malaysia have no tyres for this size, Goodyear has the Assurance TripleMax with the so called HydroGrip technology.. Better than CPC2?
Naah, don't just believe such ranking! That's just based on ratings from any random consumers which is hardly any reliable. If you want to get more reliable reviews, read the actual comparisons articles, not those random consumers rating. By looking at that rating I know it's rubbish already cos so many unknown tires can be rated much higher than already well proven brands. Many also not so good tires can get high rating.
205/50/16 looks too thick..
If no other choice, I might have to choose RE003 Bridgestone. I do mileage tracking so every decimal of the mileage counts..
How about Toyo DRB? Checked toyo website and they have the DRB for 195/50/16..
Dunlop Sport BluResponse?
RE003 also does not have 195/50/16 and RE003 only has tread wear rating of 220 so don't expect it to last long.
Just gathered this list of 195/50/16 tyres sold in Malaysia

I agree with VR2 to better just use 205/50/16. This size has so many much better tire choices like the PS3, F1-D5, & RE003. These 3 tires would easily outperformed any of those tires you listed above. Furthermore with 205/50 you will have better comfort due to 0.5 cm thicker sidewall, and better grip as well due to 1 cm wider tires. I have used both sizes before and I will never use 195/50 anymore.
