[QUOTE="k3nny(E46), post: 124511, member: 1597"] Hi, I had diificulty finding the tyres I wanted as apparently stocks are limited for these sizes. I had to get it brought in from a shop in Klang to one of their affiliate shops in Jalan Genting Klang in Setapak for installation. The shop is after the shell station right after the six happiness restaurant if you are coming from KL downtown. The shop is orange in colour and has Hankook signs all over it. Try asking them and do negotiate for better pricing. I don't know if this would help but if you go sometime soon, tell them Kenny recommended them to you. Hopefully they'll remember installing my tyres and give you similiar pricing. PM me if you want the number (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post numbers on the forum) I suppose 205/50/16 would be cheaper as its width is narrower (less wider if you look at it from the top) by 20mm. This would mean lower surface contact (relative to the 225/50/16) resulting in lower rolling resistance, may give better fuel economy and a less jarring ride...you know what I mean. On the flipside however, this would also mean less grip and also make your tyres look a lot less meaner looking (as seen by those eating your dust) :P I hope the above is helpful. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
