Profile 40 or 45 on 16s?

Post by what2097 »

Deciding on tyres...
For 16" alloys, would 40's look better than 45's?
Which choice is wiser?

Thanks for that.
But what about width? What do you recommend? 195? 205? 215?

I found these Toyo Proxis on eBay:

195/40/16. They are £59 each; works out to £253.50 incl. shipping for a set of 4.
