I'm also considering the 205/55 or 205/50, but those require more funding, thus more saving up.

I would recommend getting the 205/55, since it will be close to your stock diameter, but the slightly lower profile will give your car a better look as well as better handling.

Yeah. I'll look into saving up a little more.

you talking to both of us brian? or just blacksheep?

205/55's = 1.7% slower 60mph = 61mph
205/55's = 1.7% faster 60mph = 59mph

doesn't really matter being 1mph slower or faster but the tire price does!
