What kind of tires that can actually still fit on the wheel that came with PR5?
 
I'm looking at Yokohama..if there is any that'll fit on the OEM wheels.

Also, anybody have info on Yokohama ES500, where I can get those? something like 205/50R16
Also, I'm guessing 205 would fit on the stock wheel correct?
what would be some of the disadvantage/danger of using 205 instead 195?

Thanks!

A 205 would most likely still fit a 6in wide wheel. no disadvantages really except if you are in deep snow. skinnier tires penetrate snow a little better, however they would not be a whole lot worse than 195's

What about the gas usage?
will it cut down my MPG by using 205?

Thanks

the diffrence in using a 205/50 insted of a 195/50 is going to give your speedometer/odometer a 1% error....when you are traveling 61 MPH your speedo is going to read 60....hardly anything you will even notice....that also means that for ever 60 miles it clicks on the odometer you will have actually gone 61 miles. if you actually do all the conversions and math when you figure your mileage....it will not effect it much at all...and depending on your actually driving style...it COULD go up a tiny bit. but if you just take the straight numbers off of your odometer and divide by the gallons you put in at a fill up it will APPEAR as though its gone down a tiny bit...when it probably hasn't
