Default tire size for my 4th gen

Im getting black Slips in 15x6.5
I was wondering what tires I should get?
(brand/model, and size? as in 205/50/15 or w/e)
by the way Im not at all familiar with tire "labels" thats why my post sounds so dumb...

Im running the Hankook RS2's in a 205/50/15 and Im happy with them. I havent tracked them at all yet, but plenty of grip on the street, and they do OK in the wet

so say if I wanted not-so low profile tires (sidewall maybe like 1.5-2") would it be something in the neighborhood of 205/50 or 225/50?

225-50-15 means:

225- width of your tire, in millimeters

50-ratio of tire width to sidewall height

so with a tire width of 225mm, your sidewall height would be 112.5mm

lower profile tires are needed when you have 17 and 18" wheels

you have to take into consideration (spelling?) what kind of suspension that lude is running also, a different spring or coilover setup will make his car "sit" better. i have 205/50/15's on my lude and i like them, although i will prob go wider next time around, say a 215/50/15.
