Default 195/55 or 205/50 or 205/55 r15

Anyone out there have these size tires 195/55 or 205/50 or 205/55? If you do can you post pics with them on your car and describe the size tire. Just want to see the difference, and how each one look like before I purchase a new set. Thx

You won't be able to tell the difference in a photo. And probably not if you stood next to a car, either, unless you're close enough to read the size on the sidewall.

195/55-15 and 205/50-15 both fit Integras just fine. 205/55-15 is too big.

The difference in sidewall height between 195/55 and 205/50 is less than 0.2". To put that into perspective, that's less than the difference in sidewall height between a tire that's brand new and the same tire when it's worn and needs to be replaced.

The difference in tread width is also about 0.2" (5 mm) on each side of the tire. Not much.

I love 195/55 and 205/50...they average out to be VERY similar once on the car. However, I do not like 195/50 at all. 205/55 would be too much meat in my opinion, unless you are running a 15x7 wheel. I run mainly 15x6.5's with the above specs, (azenis rt 615/ziex 512 etc)
