You should be able to get them for about ?50 each if you shop around. 195/50/15 are about half that as they are a popular size!:)

I just priced some new 195/55/15 Michelin Energy's at ?52.50 per tyre.

Michelins/Yoko's/Toyo's and Pirelli's are the best tyres around, but i've got two Mich Energy's and two Marshall's at the moment.

will someone buy my car :)

Ive got 195/50/15 at the moment, and the steering is all over the place!
They are cheap Blackstone ones though, and came free with the alloys.
Are the 195/45's the really thin ones compared with the 195/50's?
I just priced more in Halfords, they are Avon ZZ1's for ?49.50 a corner!
Not bad! :D

Or my other option is to spend all the cash on a new amp, sub and front door speakers and tweeters.
Should I concentrate on the ice first?
Or the tyres?

Are they on a Nova or a saxo:-/ the offset of the wheel is more likely to cause you problems than the tyres, this should be 49mm for vauxhall, but I don't know what it should be for a saxo as this is a nova site :D. Does it pull side to side as you accelerate or what?

The steering goes all over the place when you are breaking!
It was ok until the tyres got a bit worn.
:(
I can either get Falken or Avon tyres for ?50 a corner, so which is better?

were they performance tyres they tried? didn't know it would make that much difference whether they were worn or not

They tested new vs. worn, the corsa on worn stopped 4 car lengths further away than with the new tyres... quite a lot really, specially on non-abs motahs...

Knowing me tho, I'd sort the ICE first! lol

I've got Hankook Ventus 195-45-15's, and they where ?45 each.
I'm amazed at how good they are, and the tread looks just like F1's!

[Corner.........what corner?
Oh, I didn't notice that corner - I just kept going at 90!]

Brilliant, thanks for that guys.
I think the Avon tyres are nice, so I'll get them.
