Anyone running 195/55 R15s on their Cooper

[grichardg]

I want to change the std 175/65 R15 tyres on my Cooper to 195/55 R15s.

Has anyone got any experience with this combination and ideally have some picture of these tyres fitted to their car that they would like to share?

Thanks.

195/60-15 would give you less wheel gap.

Wow, 195/55-15 is a seriously small diameter tyre (596mm), some 2.1% smaller than even the 175/65-15 (609mm) and a massive 4.0% smaller than the 195/55-16 option (621mm).

Yes, 195/60-15 is a more logical choice at 615mm - dimensions from this site's Wheel FAQ.

Thanks - I hadn't been thinking about the size with relation to the 16" wheel tyre combos.
Anyone got a image of their 8 spoke 15" wheel with 195 60 R15s fitted?
