Tyres for new Merc B class 1.8 petrol I

Sorry put all of it above, we are having a new Mercedes B class 1.8 petrol engine shortly my dealer wants to know what tyre/wheel size we want. Your newspaper article always say's how important they are for safety and economy - could you recommend to us the size that would give us the safety and economy for today's driving

The smallest wheels with the deepest profile tyres available, otherwise the ride quality of new B Class is awful.
