   Seeing as (assuming) you have 195/45/16 profile tires, how do they suit your saxo, is it worth spending that extra to get the 195/40/16 tires? Basically what im tryin to get at is do the 45s still look decent!??
   Thanks!!!!

   Depends what rims you got dude?
   
   Although a 40 profile tyre would look alot better in any case.

   Looks wise 40 profile is better
   
   The main difference though is that if you have 195/45/16's you may get some rubbing on full lock which also depends on the type of wheel you have and the fitment.
   
   Either way the 40 profile would work out to only about 5mm difference in diameter to 15's with the 195/45/15 tyres on so there should be no rubbing problems with this profile.
   
   Hope that made some sense, its getting late
