[Kamarley]

195/45/15 are the better for 15's I would've tough

 

[AJC]

45's are indeed better, just got a set of Nexen N6000 in 45 profile for 200 quid fitted, they are so much more sure footed in corners, and my speedo is now almost spot on compared to the 50 series i had before, they got some good reviews online too, not bad for a budget tyre.

 

[Kamarley]

I'll get some when these part worns die


LEEEEEAVVVEEE ITTTTT YEAHH!!!

Interestingly enough I just got 195/50/15 for my 2 fronts as my toyo's were almost smooth

Look a lot better actually fills the arch better aswell so I might get 195/50/15s all round when I get some cash together

Well I took the tires off of these at the weekend. Then my mate came over a min ago and said you should of test fitted them first :O I put them on another micra in the scrap yard and they didn't poke, but the steering wheel was locked so could test full lock :S I'm worried now

195/45 looks much better

 

[Shamalam]

I'm with Scott ere Steve. I personally hated 195/50's made my car feel super sluggish

Each to their own though as they say. 195/55 is a defo no for me. Might as well put a low pro 16" if you're gonna go that big.

 

[McMicra]

meh, got em coz cheap :L

see how I get on only had em for a day

 

[Shamalam]

You got a 1l box too?

My test was on a facelift 1l box. I know the 5th in that is longer iirc so that may haze my judgement.

Dunno what they'll be like on a 1.3 box though...

 

[McMicra]

1.0 box, feels slightly slower but meh, 1.0l isn't fast to begin with so looks it is until the 1.3 engine goes in :L
