Default RS turbo tyres

What’s the ideal size tyres to on onto standard s2 alloys. But ideally don’t want the high profile of standard tyres.

TIA.

I use 195 50 15, tried 195 45 15 on the old wheels and didn't like the way the car drove
45 profile


the 50 profile isn't exactly massive in direct comparison

Hope this helps

it was probably more down to tyre compound rather than size in my case, they just didn't grip as soon as I got boost it just span, that was at low boost 12psi, they didn't grip on corners properly either and they made the car feel crashy, safe to say that's why they came off they were yokohama s drive and I wouldn't touch them again with a shitty stick
