For brand new I would say that is a very good price, but then again, your gonna have to shell out 50 notes per tyre, so theres another 200 squids. They do make a big difference to the look of the car though. I'd rather go for original manufacturer ones than 19" bling blings! If you were after bling you could shove these on top
(they spin around independant of the wheel!)LOL. How sad are these things. You can actually get **SPINNING WHEEL TRIMS** now

You can't see them when you're driving it can you! So unless they were going to improve the roadholding or something by being a different size from standard or even lighter I'd put my money towards something more useful!
Seriously make sure you get the correct bolts or that they can be obtained at a sensible price.

superloopy, if you are going from 185/60/14(standard size for most 14" rims) to 195/50/15 your speedo will overread by 0.3% so at 60 the car will be doing 59.8! that is if your speedo is accurate in the first place!! highly doubtfull! to be honest you most likely wont notice any difference in comfort from the size swap as the rolling radious isnt really affected and the tyre still has plenty of 'bounce' absorbtion in it!
the figure of 15 - 22 is the offset of the wheel, each wheel should have stamped inside either on the backing plate or back of a spoke a number beginning with ET, that will tell you what the offset is and for the xsara (and most 4 stud cit's and pug's) it is anything between 15-22 will go on with out any modification required!

I would say that strongly depends on budget! vikiing are very good for wear and grip, (used to have a liketime gaurantee) avon zv1's are good to (had them on my 309gti!!) dunlop and michelins are also very good but often a bit more costly! vredestiens are very long lasting but not so good for grip if you drive hard! toyo are good for grip but done last long and arnt particularly cheap!
i have no idea of the budget ones as i am semi like the guy in the old michelin advert when he sais 'show me the logo' when it coems to tyres, but i have heard cooper are very good!
my whole philosophy on tyres is that if the tyre was made be dunlop and was that good why does it not have dunlop on the side walls???
