Tyre sizes

I'm using OE tyre sizes, which I think (going by the surprise on Sanjoys face) is unusual. I'm just about to order a new set of Toyo's for the front, what size do you guys recommended?

cheers

i was going to get neovas at some point in the not too distant. they are 195-50-15 F, and 225-45-16 R. general consensus is go for the wider ones on the front(i.e. 195), although quite a few people have said the toyos are a bit woolley for the first 1000miles. bridgestones possibly??
my 2c anyway...

Wot Tom said. I've just ordered a set of T1Rs in those sizes from that Collins chap in Glasgow, should be quite nice compared to my worn out P-Zeros! Am excited.

Is Tim Stevens on Seloc still selling tyres?

He was cheap as chips, £33 each for fronts!

Yea, R's or S's. That was about 8 months ago mind. Fast delivery (by Toyo themselves too).

I've emailed him to see if he can still get em.
