What size tires come on 15" Rotators?

I have seen both 175/65_15 in some places and 195/55_15 elsewhere. I was wondering also about the fact that the Rotator wheel doesn't offer all-season, which seems really odd.

Mine are 175/65 15 with Dunlop Sport 01s. I tired to get all season with the rotators and the computer in the dealership would not allow it to happen.

My MINIs 30 miles away...I'll have to check later, but they are all-season.

How well do the Conti tires stick in the twisties? I upgraded to SS so I figure the tires will be the weak point.

Check again on the sizes.

For 15" stock wheels the correct tire size is 175/65-15

For upgrade to 16" wheels
Tires will be 195/55-16

You can try to get all Season tires for the 15" wheels. See your Dealer

ContiPremiumContact 2 (Grand Touring Summer tire)

other possible 15" tires
ContiTouringContact CH95 (Grand Touring All Season)
Dunlop SP Sport 2000 E (Ultra High Performance Summer tire)
Pirelli P3000 Energy (High Performance Summer tire)
