Tyres Advice

Hi,

i wanted to ask for recommendations please. i have also been reading.

i have a rivage and had before 1 8 5/ 55/15 now i have 195/ 50/15 since i bought a set of rivage alloys which came with them.

i need to change all 4 tyres.

it is lowered and had problems with the front suspension, front turrets are damaged  :( had the front done by The Phirm as the front suspension mounts kept spliting. The Phirm worked their magic and the front mounts have been fine.. but the car is now so low at the front, more than the rear. i do not like, very very harsh on the road.

i wanted to go back to 185/ 55/15 but dont think i can as its so low. i do have a set but dont evan think its worth trying.

i think i need to go for the 195/ 50/15.  was trying to find 185/ 50/15

i have seen 195/ 50/15 that im thinking of

CONTINENTAL
TOYOS
YOKO

appreciate all the advise!

Slighty off topic, but as I live in Germany, we have to have summer/winter wheels (different thread) and the difference in massive. I will always go for all weather, unless you are driving really fast in the summer
