    Yokohama dont make A539's anymore...they are called "C-drive's". Unsure if they are much different?

    6" is fairly narrow and a 195 wide tyre will bulge on the sides a little. I'd go a 185/50/15 or if you can some 195/45/15s.

    you will find it VERY difficult to get anything narrower than a 195 /50 / 15, in a low profile so you may have to put up with the bulging effect. HEYEHEHEHE but so saying that, i have 195/50/15's S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D over a nine inch wide rim, so they are a versatile size. i can vouch for the ADVAN AD07, HOT tyre unfortunately after that i'll have to use a more normal tyre on the front. A tyre Ive found to be very reasonable in wear/grip VS cost is a NANKANG NS1 or NS2. both more than capable right up to club track levels of grip.

    I used to have 195's on a 5.5 inch rim without problems.

    ^^^lol

    A mate once hooked up some Toyo 175/50/15s which were fairly stretched on a 7" rim.

    One of best budget drift tyres imo is Bridgestone RE88s. These have very stiff sidewalls and these are always super hard, never delaminate and slide very well in an underpowered drift car.
