What are peoples views on the better tyre size to run on a set of 16s on a Corsa B?
I have 195/50 on the Rears, and 195/45 on the Fronts.
Car is also lowered by 40mm
Not sure which is better to use all round....

Forgot to add in first post now you've mentioned comfort
Car is far from a daily driver, and is used on Track at times.
That change any views?

I run 40s, although track tyres I would be more worried about having to buy them more often, they're more expensive.
Probably a higher quality 45 would make more sense.

Cheers all.
Think i'll go for the 45 profile, bit of an all rounder then it seems...
Plus the 2x 45s I have already are decent with PLENTY of life left (Conti Sport Contact 2), sou would be better on my pocket to keep them (the 50s fitted are knacked on the inside edges, so need replacing anyways)
