Dunno, this is a piss take post but anyway :lol:

What does the build manual say for tarmac events? I lent mine to a neighbour about a year ago and he keeps rudely going off to places like Afghanistan and Iraq wearing funny coloured clothes

it's not... buying tyres for my 16v is easy as there were only ever 2 tyres to pick from and one size... but there are loads for 15"

my m8 had toyos on his mo's think they were shite aswell! lol think falken could be the worst tires for wear ever :lol: they use to last about 2months.
not sure if they do them in 15" but i like the pirreli p5000 dragos on my 16v they were great!

195/45 is better, I got scrubage on my old gsi with 195/50 tyres, put the 195/45's on and the scrubage was gone (but they were shit tyres!!! lol)
