Hello all, the time will be coming soon that I will be needing new tires again. Not gonna get anything fancy because I commute 75 miles (total) each day. Currently still on the tires that came with my 2006 Civic EX (23,000, probably got another 8k miles left).

Stock OEM tires are 205/55/16. I've lowered my car on Tein s-techs (not dumped but rids of wheel gap - exact drop is suppose to be 1.4"F/1.3"R)

So i'm looking for experienced opions or advice

A - stick with 205/55/16
B - go with 205/50/16
C - if you recommend something different, throw it out there
.

So becuase I'm lowered, the tires look even bigger than before I lowered them, here is a few pics of before/afer





thanks guys!

 

stick with stock size tires on car and get some re960 for your car.....going to a 205/50r16 will throw off speedo and no gain in traction...more choice's of tires in factory size

 

Don't get anything other than oem size otherwise your speedo will be off. If you want more grip, get a better tire.

Not for someone in Stockton. He doesn't get much snow, and doesn't need an all-season tire like the RE-960AS.
