Girlfriend got a flat tire this morning. She drives a 2006 Kia Spectra which has 205/50 16 tires. I go put her spare on, follow her to work and take the car to a couple tire places. Evidently, 205/50 16's are hard to find. Closest I could find were 205/55 16's. I decided to go ahead and buy that one.
Obviously the difference is the sidewall aspect ratio. Doing a couple quick calculations, this means that the correct size tires section height is 4.04 The tire I chose to put on has a tire section height of 4.44 Anybody out there know if the additional 4/10's of an inch is going to make a big difference. I did have them put the new tire on the rear, not sure if that makes a difference.
Thanks for your help.
