hi all,

I'm buying some rainsport 2 tires for some 15" steels Ive just bought

cheapest i can find 4x195/45/15 is £210 delivered

cheapest i can find 4x195/50/15 is £145 delivered

my car has no rear seats so i am not going to be carrying people in the back, i am down 60mm however when i have a new beam fitted it might be raised to 40mm, either way with no passengers in the back it shouldn't matter im down 60mm and £65 cheaper is quite a difference

any thoughts? or should i stop messing and just buy the 50 profiles, unless there are any drawbacks to having a larger side wall eg body roll??

Trim the rear bumper bracket off so it doesnt knife into your tyres and get 50s

Ive not ran 45s for about 3 or 4 years
