Do you need a tyre that's a general all rounder for fast road use or something more specific ?

To suit the geometry of most 7 based cars I'd say 175 to 195 (preferably 175 to 185) on the front and 185 to 205 on the back. No particular reason to go low profile- many have said they get good grip on a 65 profile tyre and it will help maintain a similar rolling circumference if you happen to be changing over from 15" rims with low profiles.

These cars are so light there is no point in giving them too much surface area of tyre especially on the front.
