So since these tires will be about 3/4 of an inch shorter than stock, did anyone notice a difference in this size tire? i just ordered the S-03's from tirerack and just got a little worried on how they'll look,handle,accelerate vs. say a 205/50/15 or the stock size for that matter.

Anyone notice anything different? or anyone with pics of that size tire on their car?

 

search is your friend...

 

don't bother, stick with the 205/50.....

 

did a search, no pics, and no one ever said anything about differences in performance. thank you, drive through.

 

I just did a Search, and it looks like you should have got your answers in a previous thead of yours!?...

What about 16" rims. What tire series do you guys run?

 

The outer diameter is 3.27 percent smaller than stock. So your speedometer will indicate 3.27 percent higher than before and you will add 3.27 percent more miles to your odometer than before. Your car will only LOOK like it's getting better mileage, due to the error of these gauges caused by the difference in tire size.

 

I have 195/50/15 Dunlop SP 8000 tires on my car, and I cannot tell any difference as far as straight-line performance or handling. When I first got them, they did look smaller on the car, and I thought about getting stock-sized tires. However, after a year or two, I don't notice any more.

The odometer and speedometer readings are definately skewed, though. This is probably the biggest downside.
