How noticible would the change in my speedometer be if I used 205/45-16 tires instead of 205/50-16?
Thanks Alex -------------------- |

Yeah, I already looked through that before but it was in inches instead of actual tire size, so there is probably some conversion involved. Thanks anyway, though, I do use the search function. I'm still looking for an answer here, guys. Thanks

If you would use the link in the second post of the thread I linked, you would see that your speedometer would read 3.4% faster with the 205/45/16 than it would with the 205/50/16. Good luck.
