hi, my altis has this tyre size and the brand is bridgestone. i want to get michelin but i found out that michelin only has 205/55/16. is it better to put the bigger tyre or use bridgestone with the same size instead?

advise needed. thx

sw: go for the 205/55/16 Michellin.. i replaced one of the 195/55/16.. nothing much felt...but the Michellin PP2 tyres were excellent!

I guess as long as its in the 3% rule.

For me, I'll prefer bigger tyres (overall wheel diameter) as speed to rpm ratio is higher (travel faster at lower rpm). But that'll depend on whether the engine has enough torque to cope with the bigger wheels.
