195/50/15 vs. 205/50/15
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

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.

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.
