What's the correct tyre size for 15" wheels? I'm currently running 195/60's but I thought it was 195/65 or 205/60?
Thanks in advance

Could also be on the sticker on the door/door pillar (the white one that has the build code on it). My Coupe has the tyre size on that sticker. Worth a look

You're right, those
are the two std. sizes for 15" wheels, but as Jon says the OE size for
your car should be on the sticker on the door pillar
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6 -speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)

2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
