Quicky - Tyre Size

  1. #1
    Howdy partners.

    Im upgrading my 14" vtr wheels to some after market 15's. I can buy them with tyres with the profile 195/45/15.
    Is 45 profile the correct one for 15's or is 40profile going to look better. Sorry I think ive had a brain fart and cant remember.

    p.s. I havent searched as im on my phone and it really doesnt like that button.

    Regards

    Standard size for 15's on a Saxo is 45 profile (195/45/15)

    If you can afford and find the tyre you want in 40 id get that though.

    as db said 45 is correct for 15's on a paxo.

    45's for saxos, 50's scrub a little on full lock

    40 profile will cost more I should imagine, however, rolling radius is reduced so a slight gain in acceleration. Road noise will be louder too.

    Not to mention you will feel EVERY little lump and bump which altho good for road feedback soon gets boring and uncomfortable,

    45's are a good all rounder as 50's seem oversized on a saxo

    Thanks people. The tyre package comes with 45profiles. I didnt know wether it would look too fat on the car. Guessing they should be fine and not need 40's
