Advan Neova A048 ?

[rvm]

I'm buying a set of this tires soon

Currently i have 195 / 55 / 15 tires.

I want to buy 205 / 50 / 15 tires.

Any recomendations ? should i stay with the 195 / 55 / 15 size, or getting a 205 / 50 / 15 will be better ?

Thanks for your advice

I would recommend you the 205 / 50 / 15, thats the tyre size i got on my ride.

A048 = 160 treadwear

A048 = 160 treadwear

I'd go with the wider spec A048s(205/50/15), had them, liked them, but due to the cost of these babes and budge...I'm gonna go back to Toyo RA1s. Have lotsa fun with them, they have excellent grip! 8)

also try nitto NT01, very very very sticky, and cheaper than the a048.

NT01=100treadware!!

hmmmm i think advan a048 has a 60 treadware ? am i wrong ?

you may be correct but either way, you cant really compare treadware from one company to another, a 100 treadware nitto may be sticker that a 80 treadware pirelli, they can under rate the tread ware legally, they canNOT however over rate the treadware.

advan neovas are diferent that the advan 048 R, the firts ones are street tires, the second one are semislicks tires

this is correct, both are grippy but ao48 is on another level like the nitto nt01, michelin pilot sport cup, potenza re540s or re55s.

neovas a048s , or normal a048 are sold in the USA?

 

[typerboy]

they are a great tyre the a048, also look in2 toyo R888 and bridgestone potenza equivelant... all very good, toyos have a decent life 2....

parada spec2 is an all season tire in a sports size, you cant compare it to a real track tire like the advanao48 or nitto nt01 or potenza re55s, im glad to hear your having good luck with them but have you driven on a sticky R/S compound tire before? if not i highly recomend it
