ive got 15'' RA's. I did have 195 50's on a set previously. But im hoping to get my 195 45 15 yokohama s-drives on the current wheels over the weekend. Thay came off a 7' wide set of ATS cup's that I sold, but im hoping they will go on the narrower RA rim, as i dont want to buy new ones!

How are you going to be driving it? I bought a set of Yokohama A Drives for my gf's 206 the other week and i've been pleasantly surprised by them in both the wet and dry. £107 delivered for 4 175/65/14s, I seem to remember the 185/60/14s being about £2 per tyre more.

I've just fitted some Toyo Proxes to my BBS RM's, I did want to get some Kuhmo's as I have them on my Audi and my RA's but they are hard to get hold of - So my local tyre place tells me...

Size all 195-50-15
