profile of tyre on 15's

Post by gareth_mattey »

Hi,

I've got 185/55/15 on my 15" vauxhall wheels but tyres need replacing, would 195/45/15 look better or should i stick with the 185s?

Thanks

i got 4 budgets, nexen they are called, for £180 which are 195/45 r15
The rear seat thing, It is rare that I fold them down, but it has to be said that when folded they do remove a bit of weight.

The 195/45 r15 tyres are really good and cool for the price......but how safe are they....considering they are budgets ?

Any idea how much the alloys will cost ?

@ Youngsezer & Pricer- have you had any problems with yours ? i intend to do about 15,000 miles / annum with my Corsa.....

how safe are the tyres?!?! what sort of question is that :lol: they're fine iv never had any problem with them, and mileage well, thats all to do with the setup of your car and how much you give the tyres stick!! if your cars lowered etc then obv they will wear out alot quicker!
