I had 205/50 ES100's on my stock wheels before, now I have 195/50, mainly because the ES100's are ALOT cheaper in that size vs. 205/50 (about $100 less per set), plus 195/55 ES100's were backordered at the time. The speedo is off a little more, but it's not a big deal, and the smaller tire gave me a noticeable increase in acceleration.
i bought an integra with jdm kit with 17 inch wheels. live in albany and for the winter i had the dealer throw in an extra set of rims from the gs model 15 inch. will need tires soon and wondering what size to use and is there a tire out there for snow on these rims
I prefer the 205/50/15 on my stock wheels because its a little wider than stock giving a little better grip and a little thinner sidewall so it doesn't look like balloon tires.

For snow tires you want to stay as narrow as possible, so that the contact patch will be long and narrow instead of short and wide, so 195/55-15, or even 185/55-15 if such a size exists. 185/60-14 on 14" wheels would probably be better, though.

what application are these tires for?(street, autox, etc). if they are just for regular strait ahead driving the difference is relativley unnoticable
this is unfortunately my car year round and dont have another so i have to drive my teg in the winter fortunately i am renting a garage, everyday driving to and from school and work these sizes any brands in mind
