205/45 is a good size

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by xasiansupermanx &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">im currently sitting on 195/55/15 on gsr blades, i love the sidewall profile not to low not to high, but i want to up grade to a 205/55/15 (but is that higher) or should o go with 205/50/15 (or is that to low?)..HELP ME! </TD></TR></TABLE>Ok if you don't know that middle number is the sidewall size so. Lets say 205 is the length if the tire across, 50 is how tall the side wall is the of couse 15 is the size of your rims hope this helps you out
