225/50R16 or 215/55R16 on GXE stock wheels???
time has come for me to change the tires on my max... (the previous owner put BFG Comp T/A HR, they dont handle good enough for me but are comfortable for sure) maybe because he bought 225/55R16 ?
?
what i want to know is it better to stick with the 215/55R16 or 225/50R16 are not too wide and will handle better? I have Eibach's and will install Illumina's this winter...

I've thought about trying 215's since there are a lot more choices than in the 225/50/17
