I m currently using 195/55/15 tyres for my myvi.. before this, I used 195/50/15..
50 looks nicer as not so fat.. I use 55 now as no more stock for 50 series.. 55 is slightly more comfortable.. 50 slightly better in cornering.. Price difference a bit only.. less than 5 ringgit per tyre.. 50 cheaper than 55 |

i think 50 or 55 series its depend on what tyre u choose.. if like PS3 the sidewall really soft, so not suitable with aggressive driving style..
if u dont think too much about comfy just use 50 series.. |

"for better grip and stabilization"
pointless if u go for cheapass tires... sticking to ur current stock wheels with higher performance tires will yield better results. as for ur question... id recommend 195/55....best all rounder... u get decent handling and comfort... even some track cars run this size... but as i mentioned above... upgrade to bigger wheels but put goodyear NCT5 really |
