I'm buying Bridgestone SO3 tires.
Is there a big difference with 195/50/15 vs. 205/50/15 tires? I'm currently using 205/50/15.
Will the 195's lower my stance much more than 205's? Is there much difference in handling with the two different size tires.

thanks

the imperceptably small increase in acceleration is more then offset by how much rubber the 205's put the road.

What about 225's? Are those too wide for a CRX with GSR wheels?

I had the same choice.......I went with the 205/50/15's

i believe GSR wheels are only 6" wide.. 225 tires i would think would be too much. you really need 7" wheels for 225s.

Yea, I figured that but I was hoping that someone would say that they had the same setup. I guess that I will settle for 205's also.

195/50's are much cheaper than the 205/50 S-03's. The large jump in price is just not worth using the 205/50's. Also, the 195/50/15 S-03's are very wide for a 195. The 205's would be VERY wide on a 6" rim. Not sure what your application is, but on my R, the 205/50's were too big for the stock rim. They were sloppy, and the 195/50 fit like a glove. Excellent tires, just not in the snow.

if your wheels are 7.5 in width, can you run a 195 tire? or is that really asking for a problem

I am runnig a 205 on a '95 GSR wheel (7.5" wide, I think) w/o problems so I am sure you can run a 195.

Edit: Nevermind then.
