55? As in 195/55R15? That's the stock tire size for GSR's (94+). 195/50/15's are just a smidgin shorter on the sidewall height.

For accelaration, you should be looking for the tire that offers the smallest circumfrence. I think 195/50/15 (we're talking stock Honda 15, right?) is the smallest tire for the 15, in that regard. Also, the shorter side wall gives you better side wall rigidity to prevent roll over during high lateral G operation.
