Any help would be great

its prob more down to the speed rating than anything, most 1.2 cars have a H rated tyres but the 1*2's need a v or W rating due to the higher speed and performace of the car, thats more of why they told you they arnt sutible not the size of the tyre

 

[*Hutchy1990*]

so 195/50 or 205/50 is what i need

 

[TOGUSA]

more like 195 or 205/45 for a 1*2

I would agree, look at the letter after the 205/40/15 bit

If you want to keep your speedo accurate then you'll need 205/50R15 tyres, these are the best option to keep the overall diameter close to the stock 205/45R16.

Plug some figures into this website and you'll get actual measurements and speedo errors :

[*Hutchy1990*]

195/45/15s they ok for a 182 yes or no any help please

If you have 195/45/15's on, then they will look tiny and you will have reduced the overall radious of the wheel. This could mean your speedo reads higher (due to the car having to travel a shorter distance for one full rotation of the wheel), well, at least I think it will show you going faster than you are.

Any difference will be small though.

*Edit, just read the post from 'murcod'. Looks like 195/50/15 is closest to the 195/45/16's (unless I have read it wrong).

If the tread is good on the 195/45/15's then can't you just sell the tyres if you'd rather use 195/50/15's?

Depending on what tyre you are looking for, there are some good deals on 195/50/15's (if that is what you want to go for in the end). Someone recently posted a link to Camskill for some cheap Toyo T1R's and I bought some from ebay for my other car (not trying to start a tyre debate).

Where abouts in the north east are you from? I had my Toyo's fitted and my wheels balanced local to me for £5 each and the old tyres were taken off for £2 a tyre. £7 each which I think isn't bad.

Totally up to you though. The 195/45/15's I had taken off the wheels I have weren't good enough and they made the wheels look tiny on the car.

I'm live near Stanley(not the one near Crook)/Consett, so it's probably too far for you to come.
