You can run on 185's but 195's recommended. You can also change your profile to whatever you want depending on your preffered driving condition. Although 195/50/15 and 195/55/15 is best suited. If you want more contact with the road, jst put your money into a decent set of tyres with higher grip level. They will be lighter than wider tyres and more economical. Jst dont ask what the best tyres to use are... Use the search box at the top right Wink

Lots and lots of threads on this - also google a tyre calculator to see difference from standard rolling diameter.

Load index isn't something I've worried too much about - I simply looked for a sporty tyre, not something with 'eco' in the title as it is not being put on a 06-reg Vauxhall Zafira.

For the road you don't want to reduce the rolling diameter IMO so I'd definitely stick with factory size of 195/55-15 for a whole bunch of reasons, or if you mostly going on track go 195/50-15 as they are a lot cheaper and the disadvantages of the smaller diameter don't matter on the track.

I definitely would not go wider or narrower unless changing wheel size to 16" diameter in which case 205s would be OK.

search!

But really, your ONLY choice is between Michelin Pilot Sport 3 or Michelin Pilot Exalto 2 (PE2).

The deciding factor will be which you can find in stock

To be fair, considering there is a whole section dedicated to 'Wheels/Tyres' there is so much information to be found here, you could easily find hours worth of reading on the subject. Yes
