195/45/15 is a good bet but as I was informed, 50's are alright too.

Just slapped some Uniroyal Rainsports on mine, jesus they're sooo different to the Toyo's I had, they actually feel safe and they grip 
Amazing tyre, defo worth the money.

Toyo Proxes T1-R - £32.50 delivered
Uniroyal Rainsport 1 - £34 delivered
Pirelli P6000 - £34 Delivered]
Goodyear Eagle F1 DS-D3 - £35.50 Delivered
Take a look on the site yourself, any of them I have just listed will be much much better than Nankangs.
How did you find those prices Joe?
For a 195/45/15 in a Uniroyal, I can only find a price of £45 delivered.
