Tire Sizes

I have 4 SiR (99-00) rims sitting in my garage with no rubber. I dont know what size to put on them. Thinking somewhere around 195/50 or 55 / 15. What do you guys think?

Anyone have pics of the dimentions so I can see them.

thanks

Wider tread helps grip on the corners and increase contact patch, but your steering response is sacrificed.

Anyway, if your car is daily driving only, 195/55/15 is good enough.
