Hey my tires are supposed to be 205/55r15 apparently but ive been using 205/60r15s instead.

I just ordered some michelin exalto a/s 205/55r15 in place of my bfgoodrich traction 205/60r15.

will i noticed a big quality / performance difference? thanks!

the only difference you MIGHT feel would be ride qualiity, since the tread will be taller. But with 60-55, you probly wont feel a difference.

Performance wise, unless you have changed the type of tires (i.e. all season to max performance, or visa-versa) you wont feel a difference.

What tires were you running with the 205/60/R15 size?

tirerack.com rates them almost exactly the same, so I dont think you notice a difference at all.
