I just bought a new 94 celica gt about 3 weeks ago. They have stock rims but very odd sized tires. instead of the 205/55-15, they have 225/50-15. I don't know if this is due to that but my speedo is off by about 4mph going 40mph, radars show me at 36mph.
Please let me know if i should go with stock 205/55 or if the 225/50 adds anything valuable to the ride. I really have no clue. Only thing i can think of is handling. |

The 94 Gt came with 205/55/15 tires on it, but somebody changed it over to 50 series tires probably for the same reason I am thinking about doing it.
Availability and Price! I can get the 225/50/15 cheaper and most places carry them in stock, unlike our stock size. This post has been edited by gas65: Nov 5, 2004 - 4:43 AM |
