175/55r15

Is that a unusual profile ?
I checked eBay/tradingpost, none available. I have a 15x6 wheel and calculated 175/55R15 is the best fit and maintain same rolling diameter as 175/70R13

Very much so.

I suggest normal is 195, 55 R15. Roughly.

Why you going 55 ? 50 is more common also


195 / 50 R15 is the most common !

[Mrk_Mickey]

Yeah I agree with that ^^^
195/50/15 is a very common size

cos the wheel is not fat enough

Maybe ditch the wheel and get something that will take a 195.

175 isn't really wide enough anyway....

do you want stretch? most people use a 165/50 R15 for a stretched tyre on a 7j rim

Are you saying 195/50x15 is too wide for a 15"x6" rim?

195/50x15 is perfect fitment for a 15"x6" rim. Rim width range is 5.5"-7".

The only 175/55x15 tyres you will get are all season/snow tyres which perform fairly crappy in Australian temperature conditions - unless you live in Thredbo.

edit: 175/55x15 should be on 5.5" rims (5"-6" rim range)
