I might be getting some new Michy Exalto 2's next week with the help of northy and am wondering what tire size to go for,

Im currently running 195/45/15's and am enjoying these but I fancy moving up to some

195/50/15's????

Don't think ill go for the 185/55 option as these are well too expensive!!!

Cheers

Danny

Tyres (195/50R15) that I have used on the Willliams, albeit older models. No particular order of merit:

I like:
1) Goodyear F1 GSD2 (on my 5th set , I think)
2) Pirelli Pzero (Asymmetrico)
3) Dunlop SP8000
4) Bridgestone SO-2 PP - bit squealy though.

Don't like:
1) Dunlop SP9000 (No grip in dry, worse in wet)
2) Falken GRB2 (Great dry grip but wears out way too fast)
3) The original Michelin MXV2 (very plain performance)
4) Kumho Ecsta 712 (felt like a lower performing SO-2s but much cheaper)
