tire width

I have an '09 accord with 50-17-225,but I also have 4 new tires that are 50-17-215,my question is will there be any difference in the ride & handling if I put these on the '09 Accord?

Re: tire width

Depending on what tires you use, there will only be a minor change in ride quality/handling, if any at all.

Re: tire width

the 215 would be a little "skinnier", which would help deep snow traction but hurt lateral stablity (assuming you are using the same Grand Touring tire across both sizes)

We're splitting hairs here....
