Default Tire size question

Buying azenis tomarrow so i need to know for sure. My stock size is 205 50 r16. The only tire available that is close to that is 205 55 16 which should be fine. But what about 215 45 zr16. Which would be better?

I would go with 215/45/16. They fit fine on the stock 16x6.5 wheels. They offer a wider contact patch. And the slightly shorter diameter will also give you marginally better acceleration.

Sorry for not answering your question about the tires, but since when did Preludes come into CSP? I can't imagine a Prelude being competitive with CRXs and Miatas.

Haha well first of all I used to have a CF hood which threw me into DSP which I owned(Only me running it ). So I went with my crx and type r buddies and ran csp. And yes the miatas own me but not the crx's. I did place 5th last time so not to bad and thats on the shitty torn to peices Es100's. Now I have a stock hood again. Azenis arive friday and from now on I'll be running STS. Got the 205/55's they were 25 bucks a peice cheaper so oh well. I'll try the others next time. Thanx for helping anyway guys. Just dont tell anyone I have that clutch .
