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 |

Thanks Just take PS3 price, 205/45/16 is almost double of 195/55/15. 205/45/16 is consider the odd size, not everyshop carry it and you will have limited choice to choose, while 195/55/15 is very common. |

I'm wondering 50 and 55 looks different or not on their display? profile 55 : after changed rims and tyre your car height will be raised slightly and when you driving your body roll will increase and the feel is like... ermm.. a "mini suv" profile 50 : after changed rims and tyre your car height will be almost the same and the rims + tyre size would be 1.xx% smaller size than original. and of course grip would be higher for both |
