Not many choices now. For me personally I'd only consider these 3:

Michelin PS3: probably still the best all rounder in this size for dry/wet/durability but the most expensive too.

Potenza RE004: better in the dry, probably just a bit lesser in the wet than PS3, but will wear out faster (tread wear only 220). Price I heard recently has increased a lot almost reach PS3 price

Maxxis I-Pro: best value for money, similar to the old Hankook V12E2 but with stiffer sidewall and less longevity (tread wear only 240). Price much cheaper than the 2 above. My son's Swift is using this now, pretty happy.

Michelin PS3 or Michelin Primacy 4

Primacy 4 is not available in this size, only got PS3 and XM2+.

Depending on the original tyre size and clearance.

195/60 R15 primacy 4 is suitable.
My original tyre size is 175/65 r15

Well he is asking specifically for that size so P4 doesn't have it. If we assume 195/55/15 is the ideal size already then 195/60/15 is too big of a replacement.

Well just another option if he found out that it also can fit.

Anyways, just go online and use the tyre calculator to see the size comparison to be much more accurate than just basing in the tyre size only.

All the tyre shop I went to say 195/55 is the ideal size but not really. 195/60 also fits. So do some more research I guess if he hadn't.

Cheers mate

Not driving myvi, was a Jazz.

Checked online that it shows 175/65 r15 as standard also.
If it is originally 185/55 then probably not good for 195/60 as it is too big.

Seems like 195/55 or 195/50 is the size to look for.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Cheers dude

195/60/15 is too big for Myvi. For Jazz also best to use just 195/55/15.

Yep, once I know the original is 185/65 then it is too big. Just use 195/50 or 195/55.

195/60 or 195/55 is fine for jazz. Been using both fine.

Can use but handling more sloppy and acceleration heavier so not recommended. Only better comfort and higher ground clearance.
