I have 205/50 on some fat fives on my teg. Also the car is lowere on H&R Sport springs. Its time for some tires. I wasnt sure what size to go with, what guys do you think would be better and why? also if I put on 55, will the ride be better?

 

I would NOT get 205/55-15. That's too big for an Integra.

Advantages of 195/55-15:
- Speedometer/odometer will be more accurate (205/50 will be off by 1.6 percent)
- Slightly better traction on wet roads
- Taller sidewall, slightly more comfortable ride

Advantages of 205/50-15:
- More choices of tires
- Some tires are less expensive (others may not be, so check)
- Slightly better cornering

The performance differences are very slight. The tire availability and price differences may be significant, and the speedometer error is a nuisance. I would check prices and if the tires you want are available in 195/55 and not a whole lot more money, I would get 195/55; otherwise, I would get 205/50. But it's really not a big deal either way.
