    175/55r15

    Is that a unusual profile ?
    I checked eBay/tradingpost, none available. I have a 15x6 wheel and calculated 175/55R15 is the best fit and maintain same rolling diameter as 175/70R13

    Very much so.

    I suggest normal is 195, 55 R15. Roughly.

    Why you going 55 ? 50 is more common also


    195 / 50 R15 is the most common !

    Maybe ditch the wheel and get something that will take a 195.

    175 isn't really wide enough anyway....
