I just bought a new 94 celica gt about 3 weeks ago. They have stock rims but very odd sized tires. instead of the 205/55-15, they have 225/50-15. I don't know if this is due to that but my speedo is off by about 4mph going 40mph, radars show me at 36mph.
Please let me know if i should go with stock 205/55 or if the 225/50 adds anything valuable to the ride. I really have no clue. Only thing i can think of is handling. |

225/50r15 was a much harder tire to find in stock. Every place i checked had to order them. Our stock 205/55r15 was in stock everywhere. Also, the prices are exactly the same.
I just got Yoko Avid V4S 205/55...... heh... umm.... maybe i just gotta break them in so they get better.. dunno. My OHTSU (falken) 225/50 were bald but still handled better, but didn't accelerate as fast due to weight. I just gotta get used to the reduced handling, enjoy my accel, and live with tires that i don't gotta fill up every 3 hours.
