Datsfun in the 70's I was a daily driver, what about you?
Was a nipper enjoying nursery schooling in tropical Africa!
Andrew, are you running 14" or 15" wheels ? Tyre choice in 14's is limited...

They are 15's, but I looked at both your suggestions Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetrics and Continental Sport Contact 5's and neither of them are available in both 195/55/R15's and 205/60/R15's. So I a am now thinking about Firestone Winterhawk 3's. They have really good reviews, but are primarily a winter tyre. In truth, I don't expect to doing much winter driving, but it might be the best compromise and are available in both sizes.
Indeed. Smaller width front v rear. But I wasn't so clear in my post as I should. I was picking up Andrews point about profile difference. Would a slightly deeper profile on the back be noticeable and look odd?
Can I ask why you want to maintain the odd profile size set up ?
I would have a look at other members' cars and see what tyre set up is being commonly used on 15X7 or even 15x8 wheels.
205/50/15 is a very popular size but probably works best with a slightly lowered set up.
I know I'm going to be nagged about photos soon so I'll shut up. I promise I'm working on it.
Never had any fear to wet-weather drive in mine and I was on Toyo semi-slicks.
Here's a laugh....cool-ish lap to warm up and then.....:

Wrong type of rain?

Oops, does look like a good laugh though
Now more importantly how did you get you windscreen wipers to work that well?! Mine move at only about 30% of that speed at best
It probably wasn't raining at all. He just put them on to make it look tougher
I had/have a wiper motor that works and greased the mechanism.
The ego is intact - I went on to do another 2 1/2 hrs getting quicker :

but ultimately, FWD with wet tyres IS quicker.
