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

It'll be in the vehicle handbook, but I had 195/65 on my D8's 15" steelies.

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

Guessing yours must be one of the last cars that came with 16" alloys, (53/04 plate)?
Not got the original wheels?
