    50 series tires give better "look" and sharper handling.
    55 series tires gives better slightly better ride but softer handling.

    50 series and 55 series tires refer to the height of the tire side wall. It is a percentage of the tire width.

    So 195/50r15 tire is:

    195= 195mm wide tire thread
    195x50% = 97.5mm tall sidewall
    r15 = 15 inches diameter wheel

    is your car lowered or stock? ... what do you value more? looks of the car, handling of the tires on the road or comfort of the people riding in it?

    I have two cars. On rides on 50 and the other on 55. The with one 50 is setup for performance. Ride is rather harsher because of the stiffer suspension but it handles very well. The other car with 55 is my daily driven car.
