You can but it is not advisable. The 205/50-16 tire will be .80" (3.22%) smaller in overall diameter. This will cause the speedometer to read 62 mph at a true 60 mph. Your engine will also turn 28 more rpms per mile. Handling, braking, power, and fuel mileage will be adversely effected. If you wish to go to a 50 series tire then install 225/50-16. This size will work perfectly and there will be no changes in any aspects of your vehicle except a slightly less comfortable ride due to the lower sidewall.

Can I replace my 215-55-R16 tires with 205-50-R16 tires?

Yes, you can replace 215/55-R16 tires with 205/50-R16 tires, but there are important considerations. The 205/50-R16 tires will have a smaller overall diameter, which may affect your vehicle's speedometer accuracy and handling. Additionally, ensure that there is enough clearance in your wheel wells to accommodate the change in width and aspect ratio. It's best to consult with a tire professional to ensure compatibility with your vehicle.

Can you go to a P195 60 R15 with all-season radials on new wheels on a 2006 Focus with original P205 50 R16 summer performance tires?

Yes you can. Search online for a tire calculator and you can compare sizes and how much it will be 'out' by (size and speed). You don't want anything with more than 5% difference, going from 205/50/R16's to 195/60/R15's (which I did for my focus) is only a difference of 3%


In tires whitch is wider 50 or 60?

In tire sizing, a number like 50 or 60 refers to the aspect ratio, which is the height of the tire's sidewall as a percentage of its width. A tire with a 50 aspect ratio has a shorter sidewall compared to a tire with a 60 aspect ratio, which means the 60 aspect ratio tire is generally taller and may appear wider. However, the actual width is determined by the tire's designation (e.g., 205/50 R16 vs. 205/60 R16), so you need to look at the width number to compare them directly.
