i think i would go for 185/45/15 or 185/40/15 if possible, where can i get these tyres from, as i asked my local tyre place he said 185/55/15 is the lowest profile there is!!

nankang do the NS-2 in a 185/45/15 and they are only £31 a corner.... but they arent know as nankang hedge finders (in fiat circles anyway) for no reason!  :laugh: :wink:

also... pirelli do the p6 in a 175/55/15 which are about £62 a corner.

and if your feeling rather mental, kumho and hankook do tyres in a 175/50/15, ranging from about £40 - £51 a corner  :shocked:

EDIT: the seicento euro boys frequently run 175/50/13 tyres on a 7x13 wheel, so i cant see it bein a problem on a 15" wheel if u want to go for that stretched euro look  :cool: :cool: :cool:

and according to http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html the 175's are 1.57mm smaller in overall diameter than the 195/45's as well  :cool: :cool:

mate... if youve got 6j wheels, then go for the 175's.

they will be a lower profile than the 185's..... and no one likes tractor tyres  :tongue:
