Went in to get tyres today as it was driving like a go-kart in the heavy rain in edinburgh. The garage did not have the ones i wanted for 45 profile.

So he said i will do you 4 pirelli 6000 tyres for Â£150 so i thought ok then

They fitted them on and i think the car looks even better with it being lowered 40mm and the car is slideing about the road anymore

I also popped on front and back mudflaps and its looking really sweet now.
Has anyone else tried 50 profile tyres

195/45/15 is what was fitted at the factory. 195/45/15 is what I shall continue to use unless I change the alloys for bigger/smaller ones! Nothing against the 50 profile rubber but as Alun says they look a bit "over-tyred" on a 15" rim IMHO.
