Best tyre size for 15inch wheels?

[DIB]

Got my self a set of 15 5 spoke tigra alloys for my corsa and wondered what's the best tyre size to use? It's been suggested I use 195/50 15 or 185/50 15. At the moment suspension is stock but will soon be lowered 40-60mm.

Any advice which would be best size? Or a different size to use?

Cheers.

For reference, here's 185-55-15 on mine

195 40 or if you want streched tyres 165 40

195 50 15 is the best size for keeping the speedo right, looks the best imo aswell

195/45-15 on mine, I prefer them for the grip and on the corners they handle better imo

Thats 185/45/15s

The ride comfort is alot rougher than when i was on 185/60/14s

But you get used to it i like how these look imo

The tigra alloys arent very wide are they? 185/50/15 would be your best bet imo

Yeah the wheels aren't very wide think 5.5 or 6 wide. The tyres they came with are 185/55 15 so maybe get away with that size again. Checked on tyre size calculator and its about 1.8-2.2mph difference at 70mph so its ok.

Have tired searching for 185/50 15 tyres but can't find anywhere that sells/lists them new for sale so far.

Oponeo.ie, or that macskill site?

I've tried camskill as their quite cheap for tyres but it doesn't list a 50 profile tyre in 185 width.

185 50 isn't a common size so they'll be hard to come by, just get 195 50, it's the most tried and tested size for vaux alloys
