i'm on 205/50/15 tires for competitive situations and the 1" in lessened diameter creates a noticeable improvement in acceleration and response. this is on an H22 btw, but it's the same thing for all trannies, i would imagine.

I'm also running a 50 series tire and I think it helps get through the gears quicker.

a 50 series isn't that small of a tire compared to a 40 series
i'm referring specifically to h23's .
the quicker i can get into third and fourth gear,
the better

well the benefit of a smaller rolling diameter is universal to all transmissions.
