	Got any pics of ur car mate (Siberia)? its an odd prob ur having as Track day Tyres only seam to come in a 50/55 fittment. This to me says that as far as tyer makers think this must be the best track tyer size so ya would think yours would be fine

	yeh i know 15's would solve the problem but hrm... i like the 14's:lol: does any of the vectra/cav's/astra come it 4 stud 15" black steelys that would fit a corsa?

	see the problem is that ya cant get the lower profiles for the 14" rim... 50 is the lowest ive seen and theres only 2 manufacturers that do that size...... my misus has the a539 on her tigra 195/45/r16 and they are fine...
Filby1	posted on 4th Aug 05 at 09:26
	The A539s are ment to be be a good tyre i know there good i the 195/45 fittment, Try the Kuhmo KU31 both me and my bro have them, there very Grippy in both wet and dry. On my Brothers rover 214si 16v they get very warm too when he Canes it too. Much recomended i got mine for 35 quid each and my bros 205/40/R17s are 65 quid each. Try the Presure may be too low. But im not sure what it should be
