Trying to get bits together for passing her MOT! She needs tyres all round LOL

Bought the tires with the alloys 2nd hand and never trusted them! They kinda always bulged over the side and never felt right when taking corners?

Without the car being here and me not able to get the car becuase of a chest infection im stuck on the computer wanting to spend money!!!

Running the Vti's at the moment which i beleive are 14"...correct me if im wrong! I drive the car fast on them corners so i want something that is going to stick and i dont want monser truck size ones!

Last but not least, what colour should i paint them????????????????

Any help would be appreciated as i am bored out of my frickin head!

White vti wheels 8)

I wouldnt worry about the speed ratings too much, its the maximum speed that the manufacturer recomends their tyres get used at... if that makes sense :?

Its normally way higher than you'd need anyway so i wouldnt worry about it :D

205-50-15 has more grip on the road with it's wider track 195-50-15 have "ok" handling :D lol if you got the cash go for some BFGrich G-Force Dry and wet or Falken azenis are good too
