Default Tyres

My new RST has knackered tyres all round.

What size tyres on standard wheels, for some reason 195/50/15 are silly cheap! (£35 for a goodyear eagle F1)

I was also loking at these...

What size tyres should I go for on the 16"? and do you they will suit.
(queue all you photoshoppers).

F1's are the best tyres you can get - put 195/50/15's of those on mate. At £35 a corner you can't go wrong.

Yea, I like the eagles, at £35 a corner I will stick with those standardwheels for now, see if anything breaks on the RST, leave somemoney in the bank in case it goes pop!

Had a go ina mates 280bhp astra (calibra turbo engine)
That wasvery fast,need more power!

So what is the best performing tyre size on standard wheels?
