Hi Bro,

I saw people fit in tyres size at 205/50. You sure cannot?

hi bro tiger.
actually can fit, but not recommended. it will offset and look odd.

195/50R16 and 195/55R16 also can. Both within specs, but 50 is slightly smaller in diameter while 55 is bigger.
50 handling better but ride 55 is better. Both have pros and cons.
If you feel your CT engine power is not too good, then go for 50 series as you may need more juice to drive the 55 series one.....

If i were using 195 width,

I would use 55 series on the 16 in rims...

bro tiger, that price include installation? what about balancing, alignment etc.
just asking, what is the price for "ENKEI GTC01 (JAPAN)" - 8X17 PCD114.3 ET48 H5

Hi Elitex, my understanding is tyres, including balancing & alignment. You can contact the seller to check the stocks availability.

My advise:
1) view the tyres whether it is new? the tyres with the stickers, no sign of second hand used tyres.
2) ask why so cheap, for such performance tyres? and lots and lots of considerations before you decided to get it.

RM1,000 for RE-050 too good to be true. Anyway, Quicksave is very reputable tyre shop.

To me, Fresh OEM tyres means tyres from new cars traded in. Can be from showroom direct or used a few days, but does not matter if they are cheap. Just check manufacturing date to make sure they are not too old. They are cheaper because traded in tyres.
As for mounting and balancing they should be free and included in the package. For alignment, if you are taking all four pcs. negotiate for free alignment too, which they will normally do for you.
