The width of the wheels would help.

I wouldnt go for a 45 series tyre.

Personally I want maximum tread so would be looking at a 205, but am curious to think what others think.

205/50 is a lil noiser then 195/50 2 different types of yoko tread so yerr maybe it was just the tyres

but as zdster said probably go for 205 for maximum tread....

i would also go for the 45 inch profile, also if you want good cornering you should test the tyre out before buying them how to do so is to stand the tyre up lean on it from the top..if the tyre feels firm and doesnt bend as much then thats beter for cornering becouse the fire walls of the tyre doesnt move as much if it fells soft then your car will have a bit of body roll action...
good luck !!
