i need new tires ... right now i have falken ziex ze-502 205-50-r16 ... and i was wondeirng if i should stay with 50 or move up to 55 or down to 45 ... cuz i know there are differences with them, but i dont know what those differences are ... so if you guys could help me out please i would be very thankful ... i was thinkin about either stayin with falken or gettin some khumo ... or yokohama ... which would be the best in your opinion?

edit: ... 55 is a bigger diameter right? i just looked it up ... so should i stick with 50? ... i found these .... tires

 

look it up homie. there is like a novel on tires that got posted a couple of days back.
the middle # (55, 50 etc.) is the sidewall hieght. from rim to contact patch. 205 is contact patch and 16 is rim size. stock our cars are 55 in side hieght. that is the right choice. but for looks what ever. I'll try to find that post for ya!

 

yeah i found all that good stuff ... now i just need opinions on which to get ... which brand and which size ... 50 or 55. should i just stick with 50's? should i get yokohamas? are yoko's gunna last me a while?

so i found this ... tires .... that helps a little ... they are saying falken 512's, yoko's or khumos. what is the load rating for the 97 2.2? cuz i see that in there ... but that is mostly for second gens ... someone said 93 or higher ... so i was wondering if i should worry about that or if i should get 91 and not worry about it

 

get 91. and the yoks. I've had some on my girls car for about three years now.
