Default 15" tire question

I'm thinking about picking up a set of 15x7 or 15x8 wheels and tires.

What are people running for tires (other than the stock 185/60/15)?

I was thinking about 205/50/15s, 195/55/15 or possibly 205/55/15 (which almost maintains the OEM wheel's overall diameter).

Thoughts? Anyone have pics of their different 15" setups?

I have 205/55/15 Fuzion ZRi tires on my TD Pro Race 1.2s (15x7). Check my profile for pictures...

I have a friend who has a set of 15x6.5" rims with 195/45/15 (I think) Falken Ziex 512s (or whatever) and there is a minor stretching.

195/55-15 was the one i liked best. 195/50 was not enough sidewall. The 55 series tires was best.

Just be sure you get low enough. about 3.5"-4".

Living where I live, I am not able to lower my xB 3-4 inches -- I couldn't get in my driveway! I'm on S-Techs right now, and don't plan on going any lower as long as I'm living in the Midwest. If I lived in Cali or somewhere where it didn't snow, I'd be slammed, but Wisconsin roads and winter don't allow for it.

I think it'll either be 205/50/15 or 195/55/15 when the time comes. My wife's Civic has 205/50/15sm so I might just throw those on just to see what they look like.
