19in alloys on a 19 16v cab?

Had some thought and I quite agree with what you are all saying, away to order 4 good tyres for my standard 15's :)
 
I surely wouldny recommend goin any bigger than standard wheel size, folk dont realise steering geometry, rde height etc are very important to a vehicles driving and handle characteristics.
 
Got some bridgestones on mine, pretty happy with em, think re015's? Pricey tho. Toyos are decent, but dont last long, pretty soft compound. Had contis on my last 19, they wernt so good!

I hear this all the time toyo's don't last long, they have outlasted pretty much any other tyres I have used.

Also they remain the most stable at sustained high speed operation. Others go off balance very quickly I find.
 
I've got some yokohama A539's on the front at the moment and they have done pretty well, quite a rigid sidewall and provide good support when cornering. On the rear I have 2 budgets and i've had the rear and twitch on a greasy road a few times, I like the look of the Toyo's 4 for around £200 or the Yokohama prada.

Fair enough chris, I find the edges wear out real quick on the toyos, but thats jus me. I hear eagle f1s are good but I aint tried em?
 
I think pressures are critical, thankfully in rainy scotland its easy to see tyre pressure changes, the hottest bit of the tyre dries the quickest so you can adjust pressures as needed.
