Yes, another tire question..

[NinJa_FLiP]

Sorry for yet another tire question, but I have been searching for days with no luck..
I'm searching for tires for my 95 GT Convertible with stock 16" ponies, with tire size 225/55/16. DiscountTireDirect lists 205/60/16 as an optional tire size. The tires in that size are less expensive, so I was wondering if anyone has gone that size and if it makes any difference? I know most people go with wider, but this is for my daily driver and I need them to last. Thanks in advance..

205 tires are going to look rediculous. The factory tire is a 245/50R16.

factory tire size is 225/55/16.. the size u listed is an "optional" tire size.. anyone else using 205/60 on the factory 16" ponies?

oh ok.. my sticker still says 225/55/16.. i dont think mine being a convertible is the reason for the difference? urs came stock with the 16" ponies too?

225 will be fine, no need to worry

Yeah, mine came with the 16" ponies. I've never seen one that came with 225s.
