195/50/16 works OK on the SE wheels, providing a noticeable overhang (and with it, protection). 185/50/16 is standard, but 185/55/16 should work just fine if you're looking for a bit more bounce and an accurate speedo.
Hmm, good point. 185/55R16 might be an even better option - more comfort due to 12mm extra sidewall, more accurate speedo due to 3.1% circumference increase over 185/50R16 (making actual 70mph occur at speedo 72mph), plus better economy and less noise due to its 10mm less width than a 195.
The A2 is now running a full set of 185/55R16 Dunlop SP Fast Response. I've not noticed any improvement in comfort despite the extra air between me & the road.
they do fill the arches a lot more than the 185/50s so I'm hoping they don't rub on a lowered setup.
