I'm just about to order up my new rubber for all 4 corners. I'm pretty much
sold on doing with Yokohama ES100's all the way round, but wanted some
opinions on sizing. I know that 225/55/16 is close to our stock size, and I'm
leaning that way cause the speedo will be off a tiny bit which will make my
speedo dead on. But I've read about the "changes" to gearing ratios by using a
smaller tire, and was thinking about getting a 225/50/16 tire with that in
mind. I like to drive my car, I think its kinda fast, I want to get to the
drags later this summer, and I wondered if that little profile change would be
worth having a more inaccurate speedo? They're going on my slicers, so I know
I can't get to much above 225

Thoughts?
