My car was running these on car manufacturer's original 16 inch rim before I upgraded to 18 inch. These tyres were made in Japan. Compared to T005, the T005A is designated for Asia, hence the A suffix. These tyres are quiet and comfortable, and quite capable of handling both dry and wet stormy surfaces in Asia where the air temperatures are higher.

What drivers say about their 160/60 R16 tyres
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
I bought these tyres to test them.
Th tyres are excellent with very very good hangling. These are more sport tyres than touring tyres. The curving and leaning are more natural and easy than with my old Bridgestone bt 20.
In wet condition the tyres are perfect. They are very soft and have excellent grip. I expect to last enough (10 - 15 K) is good for me. I prefer new tyres more often.
