Decent 225s will give you better grip in dry, 215's will aqua plane less, id defiantly go for 225's tho..

I have a spare wheel and rim for a megane cabriolet 54 reg if anyone wants it.i bought it as i dont trust that emergency cannister they give you instead of spare wheel.if anyone is in the north east area and wants it (tyne and wear ) just let me know at sharp_derek@yahoo.co.uk and i will give you further details. p.s. i am trading the car in part ex in 6 days time.
