Default tire discussion

hey y'all im just wondering i just had a tire fregn explode from the walls on me last night and wanna get 4 replacement tires, the ones i had were winter tires and had one season left but i wanna replace em with some tubeless skinny tires not sure what size id have to get

i have the snowflake rims (15") and i think what i have right now is 195/55/R15. i know that the first is the width and second is the width divided by the height and R - radial and 15 is wheel size but i want skinier tires not bulky ones so any suggestions on tires and size. also which numbers out of the three should be the same if any? for new tires thanks

I would say go with a 205/40or45/R15 that would get the skinny you are looking for and some awesome grip compared to the 195.

Look online at different sidewall sizes online of rims on tegs. That way you will see for yourself what you like. I recently switched from 205/45/16 to 205/50/15 and it honestly doesn't look bad to me with the 50 width.

Remember, the smaller sidewall the more you feel. On my 195/65/14 winters, I feel like driving on clouds. On my 205/50/15's I feel more cracks of the road. If you go 45 or 40 on a 15 inch, yes it looks good, but I don't think it would be that comfortable.

Heres mine on 205/50/15's. Rims are 15x7's
