Hi guys,

Just wondering which size is the best for track use if my rim spec is 15" 7jj with +35 offset.

205/50/15 or 195/50/15?

7J fits better with 205/50, but it all depends on your application and what is your original tyre size.
205 overall diameter is larger by 1.74%, means pick up using 195 will be lighter, but grip for 205 will be better. Got pros and cons for both....

My company has very kindly allowed me to pick my own company car (woohoo!) and I've narrowed it down to a few makes/models after test drives. I'm not particularly knowledgable about cars which is why I'm here to get feedback from more knowledgable people (aka you).

Criteria are:
Efficient running costs (fuel consumption, maintenance costs etc etc)
Driving experience.

Makes/Models:

#1 BMW 320i
#2 Audi A4 1.8 TSI (comes with Bang & Olufsen as standard :D)
#3 Volkswagen CC
#4...
