The sizes vary depending on the type of alloys you have and whether the car has PAS or not.

Mine has Estorils and has PAS so I ordered 225/50/15s on the Front and 245/45/16s on the back.

60 does seem a bit big for the profile are you sure is not 50? Most non-PAS are 205/50/15s on the front from memory?

Move on to 55`s then you can tell everyone you have low profiles


205/55/15 front 225/50/16 rear is a nice balance, matching wall heights gives you the 1" difference front and rear..

4.44" wall height front and rear.. 205/60/15 wall height 4.84"so nothing in it ..

Yes the rears are looking a bit worse for wear now

I have factory Imolas and I did some research on tyres over Xmas have bought Toyo Proxes TR1 for the 16" rear and Yokohama S drive for the 15" fronts there are cheaper options but I've just upgraded my brakes and waiting for the weather to clear to give it a good test drive

I'm debating the same kind of thing, whether to match the same tyres all round, or go for something grippier on the rear.

I just worry that I'd induce understeer using better rears?
Surely same brands/types front and rear woudl give a nice, more neutral overall balance?

Think the Yokohama tyres have excellent grip so balances out with the toyos
