New to the vibe and wondering if 205/50-16's will work

[nittanydoug]

I just picked up an 05 Vibe. I know it's supposed to have 205/55-16's on it. It actually has 3 of them (the 4th isn't even the right size.) 2 of which are marginal and one that is shot. The car I am getting rid of has 205/50-16's and those are in good shape. 2 are new this summer and 2 new last summer (I run winter tires). I'm not looking to drop $400 in tires.I know these tires would be a little smaller in diameter. According to the tire calculator I'd be under speed by 3.2%. I typically run my gps for speed. Any suggestions?

205/50/16 will work just fine. Your speedometer will be off, but the tires will be just fine.

I guess I'll just see what I can get a set of 4 installed for. I'll still have my winter wheels/tires from my P5. Those were a little oversized (taller) than the 205/50's so it should be almost just right (on a 15" wheel.)
