195 isnt perfect for a nova as it is wider than what they were designed to have but the 45 profile is much better than the 50 IMO

to be honest halfords arnt great for stuff you need lol because they a shop not a car business.

best bet would be to go to a tyre company or a garage and ask there, they deal with this stuff all day long and will get a good price on a tyre of 45 and fitment on the wheel.

my mates pays 70 for a yoko per wheel inc fitment. i got a budget tyre thats half the price and with fitment. also yoko dont last that long.

i found silver stone are a good buy. a lad i know drives like a looney all the time and he says they dont ware down easily

right

195/45/15

the 195 stands for the width of the tyre in MM's

the 45 standards for the wall profile, this is % of the width, so 195/6-/15 would have a wall profile that is 60% of the width, 45's will have a profile of 45% of the width. e.t.c e.t.c

and the 15 is the radius in "
