[QUOTE="ichiwan2, post: 37360, member: 153"] I am a fan of the Goodyear F1 series. Latest model is the GS-D3 that you see being advertised quite a lot these days. For 15 inch rims, size is limited to 195/55 and 195/50. More choices for 16 inch and above.Am using 195/50 for my front and 195/55 for rear for my e21. Not by choice, the 195/55 kept hitting my fender/wing. 195/50 cured that. The ideal size for my e21 would have been the 205/50, i.e., plus2 from the standard 185/70 x 13.Yours will be a plus one size increment - use the tyre size calculator found elsewhere on this board. The key thing about upsizing is to maintain the diameter of your tyres so that your speedometer reading is accurate. Otherwise, it will read slower or faster than actual.
