thanx guys
sorry guys but I probably worded it wrong
at the moment have four allie road wheels at 16in and spare steel at 15in now I don't think 16in will fit in wheel well ( i may be wrong ) Now I would like all 5 wheels to be the same allie. The allie wheels fitted at the moment are ok but not good so befor going out to buy tyres at the combination I have, but to change all to maybe different size hopefully to get better handling.
so could I go say go down to 15in  all round ar would 16in allie fit in the well or just stay as I am 16in road wheels and 15 spare, useing spare just to get out of trouble

4 x 16" Alloys, 1 x 15" Spare. (standard) - No point having another alloy as a spare, and fitting 15's over 16's as the main wheels just to get all to fit won't make any improvement in handling.  If anything, the thinner tyre on the 15 will not be as good grip wise (trust me I found that out when running 205-wide tyres instead of 225 - SUCH an improvement with the wider ones!)

I have Continental Premium Contact 2's on mine now, and there a very good tyre :y

i fitted Michelins about 1800 miles ago n they need replacing already  :'( they do grip quite well and are very predictiable though. Next time i think ill be trying someone else, not overly impressed.
