Factory size is 205/60/16

Would a 225/55/16 ride better-has anyone tried it? It seems like it would. The overall circumference is only 4mm difference, but they're a little wider.

Any other recommenations are welcome.

 

I have 225/55/16's on my 04 v6 coupe. They ride fine, but not better than the oem size - the profile is lower, so usually the ride will be slightly firmer. The tire brand and model will probably make more of a ride difference than a 60 vs 55 series profile. They do handle much better though and fit on the oem rim.

 

The tire should ride a touch firmer, but that is all depending on which brand you go with and what type of tread pattern.

We have great luck and reviews with many makes at my dealer.

 

those replied make sense-wider for better handling, but thinner so a little rougher ride.

What's the best tire that's not a Michelin-price tire for quietness for my car then? All opinions welcome! I have Yokohamas now and everything is great with them with the wear and handling, but they are too noisy. The longer I have them the noisier they are.

I love Michelins, but there has to be a close 2nd to them that's more affordable.
