Hi All, I’m new to tyre knowledge. Will be getting a VW Polo and thinking to upgrade the rim and tyre to 17inch (which is more choices of rim pcd 5x100). Stock tyre was Goodyear 185/60/15.
My driving habit is quite aggressive šŸ˜‚ on both dry & wet, so prefer a good wet grip & breaking as well as cornering.
Currently thinking :

195/50/15, 205/50/16, 215/45/17

Michelin PS3/4
Continental CC6
Bridgestone RE003/4

What you guys suggesting? And any good shop recommend for 5x100rims? Just notice it was hard to find for both 15 or 16

If you are upsizing your rims, your recommended tyre size should be:

195/55R16, 215/45R17 (i did not recommend to change to the same tyre size as polo gti 215/40R17 as the polo gti has a 15mm lowered ride height compare to the standard polo)
