winter tyre help????

[spanishbhoy]

hey guys....

Got a set of 16 " 172 alloys that I'm planning to stick winter tyres on... Been told I'll have virtually no chance of finding 195.45.16 tyres for them.... which is the tyre size I'm running on my 182 alloys at the moment.... so my question is what size can I get that won't rub. I'm lowered 35-40 mm.

All help is appreciated guys....

Cheers

Limited options/expensive maybe but not imposible.
Some decent options below:

Yeah they're lovely... Although I'm looking for budget if possible...

They do exist as well. Such as these:

But if you can stretch to the pirelli, it will be a better tyre.

I've just got some Nokian's for my BMW, they are supposed to be very good (only £62 for your size) - but time will tell, currently they are going a fine job at cluttering the shed up.
