I have searched and read many tire threads and something confuses me, not that it's difficult. I have 4 lug Fuchs with 195/60/15. Logically, it seems to go to a 50 series tire, the correct size would be 225/50/15, but no one seems to be running them.

Someone enlighten this noob.

225's don't fit well on a 5.5 rim.


I run 205x60x15 on 5.5 Mahles.

205/50/17 on 7" rims.

4 lug - 195/60/15
5 lug - 205//50/16

195/65/15
Closest to stock rolling diameter.
As the black car is primarily the backup driver when Miss Mari and I can't car pool together
I wanted the top end gas mileage as about half of our commute is at 75 mph or better.
Easier on the old type 4 2.0 rather than taching 4500 rpm down the highway.
