Tire Question

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....tnum=05WR7NCT5

I have the ability to get these tires for 100 bucks for all 4. Brand New. You think they will be okay for being a 205/50WR17 ?

A bit narrower but I think they should be okay ??

What do you think ?

Don't do it....
It will not work. It will be narrower yes. It will also be smaller.
The side wall will be shorter. The side wall is 50% of 205mm instead of 215mm.

I think you will regret this if you choose to do it.

I agree. It's best to stick with standard.

I just wanted them for chewing up the road. Cheap Tires to hold me by for a while. Do you think they will be okay to drive on for a bit ?

Your only real downside is the ODO/SPEEDO will be off (they will both read high)..
