DONT buy toyo proxies, unless you want to be replacing the front tyres all the time.

the front will last 10k MAX

and id go for 195/45/15

there will be a slight bigger tyre width, always usefull.

and a slightly lower profile, looks better.

and all in all only lost about 29mm of diameter so wount affect the speedometer much.

will be slightly more expensive tho

Lower profile to look better. WTF?

Its so you have less movement in the side wall, so it grips better you flange.
