205/55/15 is the standard size. Some people go for 205/50/15 and I think there was someone on here who had 215/50/15s (might of been 215/55s), but Im not sure if there was issues with the 215s.

TBH Id just stick with 205/55s.

mine are 205/60/15, and were when i bought the car.

Must have been on special offer for them to choose that size, cant imagine why else you would choose that size, will wait till i need tyres to replace them though as it means getting a set of 4!
