Default Profile size question..
right now i'm running 215/60R16 on my stock 01' gs300. I want to get summer performance tires instead of all-season, but there seems to be no good choice for 215/60R16. I was wondering if I can go 225/50R16 or even 225/45R16 for my new setup...will there be any tradeoffs?

They will be noticeably smaller... ugly smaller even...

225/55-16 is the size you want if anything...

True, True ...225/55 would look good and 235's in the back.
