#1: Always small ballon in the side wall of the tyre Author: hamed206, Location: EgyptPosted: Tue Jul 22, 2014 10:03 pm ---- I used to drive with 205/45 R16 here in Egypt, but as the roads aren't good, I changed to 195/50 R16. Condition gets better but still have the problem of balloon in the side wall of the tyre when I hit something (bricks, digs....etc) I'm thinking of going to 195/55 R16 would this decrease handling apposite to comfortability?
Note: I use Fedral tyres which are really awesome! After trying many different tyres, I figured that Federal is the best for the roads here.

I moved to 195/60x14 on the Nimrods as the 175/65x14 looked too narrow on the new 5 1/2" rims. I am NOT a fan of stretched tyres BTW ...
Wet performance on the Federals was exciting ... to put it mildly ... and not what I wanted, and once they started to wear handing got worse and worse. Use Falken's now.

That's something the op hasn't got to really worry about
