Tire Size ? guys
I tried searching but i couldnt find my answer, As a lot of you guys know I just bought some new wheels 16x7 Buddy Clubs P1's I'm gonna purchase some new tires this week hopefully and I'm not sure what size to get. I don't know what width or height to get. I'm looking for a good looking medium to low profile tire with good thread life and good for so cal weather. My car is a 2001 Civic EX and its not lowered. I also don't want to have bad speedometer reading or bad gas mileage. The tire calcutor on 10 10 says 205/45/16 is only off by 1.69% but on the one from miata it says its 4.9 or something? please!

you can either run 205/45/16 or 205/50/16.
205/45/16 will make ur speedo faster than it is. and the tires are pretty damn low-profile. looks great but it really does throw off ur speedo quite a bit. it also rides a bit rough due to a lower profile.
205/50/16 should be perfect. i would highly recommend with this size. its low-profile enough, but not enough to feel every damn bump on the road. much better for a DD.
i dont think i have a ppix with my 205/50/16 tho. dont think i took any. here are the 205/45/16 tho. they are a lot smaller than you think they are.:
ive had both, and if i had to choose, id take the 205/50/16 tire.
