Hi, this is my first post to the forum and I'm looking for some advice on the best tire size for the wheels that I have. I've looked through the archives and can't seem to get a definitive sense of what's best for me.

I've got a 2002 B5.5 and I bought a set of 7x15 Rondo wheels for it. I'd like to mount something other than the stock 195/65/15 tires on the wheels; any suggestions/advice on good options? Price isn't THAT much of a concern, since the wheels were so cheap ($150/set). Also, I'll probably upgrade the springs and shocks at some point in the future, if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance

Check out TireRack.com to read the Reviews and also Survey Results for each tire, very helpful. Bridgestone Turanzas are highly rated.

You could also go up a size in the tires if you want and get 205/65/15 :thumbup:

For best ride comfort the Bridgestone Turanza's are good. For higher performance the Yokohama ES100's are a good choice.

Thanks for all the feedback. What about sizes? I think I've seen these sizes recommended, but are they good matches for the wheel size?

205/55/15
205/65/15
215/60/15

Thanks again, Edd

205/60/15 is the recommended size to use.
