damn! i should have bought 225 then..
didn't exactly know how to read those sizes.. how about 205/50/17 and 205/55/16, are they any different in width? 205/50/17 any wider? it seems a bit wider then 205/55/16 which is my stock tire.

THANK YOU;
i replaced my type 156 with m5 rep 205/45/17 for winter because type 156 seemed too narrow, but i ended up having same width. damn should've done more research.

Ideally, you should also stick to the above tires sizes since this will result in minimal effects on the accuracy of your speedometer reading. Your speedometer may be slightly more off with a 205/45/17 tire size unless you mean 225/45/17. |

[QUOTE=academic;6356811]For winter tires, you should always go as narrow and small as possible.

225/45-17 is narrower, at least on the back.
That's what I run and I ski in the mountains (I live in Calgary) every weekend and my 225/45-17 Hakkapeliittas work great for me. 16 inch wheels (and many 17s) won't clear the brakes on a 330/335. |
