As above, looking for advice on the correct tyre size.
The car is fitted with B4 Dampers and eibach springs.
I've noticed that the standard tyre size of 205/55/15 doesn't have much tyre options.
Is there any other options for the 15" wheels?

I have used 225/50 15 before, slightly smaller profile but useable
The Wiki link above has some outdated tyre choices but over the past five years I have used Uniroyal Rainsport 3's and Toyo Proxies also Toyo Proxie winter option.

Thanks for the reply. There seems to be even less choice for that tyre size though.

You think tyres for a set of standard 15" wheels is hard, try finding a good set of matching tyres for staggered Alpinas.
Now I have got round to having Lepsons refurbish my original wheels, I don't fancy shoeing them with Chinese ditch-finders.
Having different makes front and back doesn't do much for me either. Good job I'm in no rush

I'm on 205/50/15 which have been fine. My car is slightly lowered at the front as well.
