i have some 175/50/13s Conti-sport Contacts on a set of 5.5" Ally Cats - they look cool, are unbelievably grippy but bloody expensive (i'd say they're worth every penny!)

I'm going 175/50's on my 5.5j 13" rims, and 195/45's on my 7" rims.  |

Due to the way an Imp's suspension works, I wouldn't go any lower than a 60 profile tyre. Any lower than that leads to snap oversteer and a poor ride.
