• Optimal comfort level. In comparison to 225/40 R18 tyres, that have a lower profile, 205/55 R16 tyres better damp vibrations caused by driving on rough terrain, they provide smooth vehicle running and  are rather quiet.
• Good grip on asphalt. Being rather wide the automobile tyres have an increased contact patch, which improves grip performance, especially on asphalt surfaces, and provides a shorter stopping distance.
• Resistance to aquaplaning. 205/55 R16 tyres are narrower than 225/40 R18 and 225/45 R17 tires, so the water is dispersed more quickly and effectively from their contact patch.
