Im just wandering what tyres people with Hartge 16 7.5j wheels are using?

The wiki page says 195 50s for the front
225 45s for the rear.

I'm just wandering if there are different set ups that people use and what is a good all round tyre?

Thanks

7.5J all round had 205/50 as standard, too narrow IMO
Not sure what the 8.5J used but for the 7.5J I would be fitting 225/45, I have 225/40 on my road car and they are too low a profile ive found, great on a silky smooth road but how many of those do we have left?
I will defo be fitting 225/45 next time round
