tire sizes 15, 16, or 17?
What seems to be the best upgrade? I currently have 205-55-16s on a 'slightly' lowered 02... I hear people either going 17 or 15. I like the 16s but the car tracks a lot .. every bump or crack seems to catch the tires.. I know narrower is the most 'comfortable' and wider handles better on turns.. but what's the best compromise?

when i say meaty i mean the thickness of the sidewall. 205-60-15 is meaty...go with a 55 series for 15 ...just MO
