205/55 or 195/55 on 15x7?

225/50/15

No. Not on a 7x15.
You can get away with it as a performance enhancement IF you are running a racing slick with their harder side walls. With a street tire 225 will bulg out too much and reduce performance in a track and street environment.

I was always told 205/55 for 15x7. Thats what I have ran on my car for years

Started shopping for new tires for my 15" Ronal LSs, running Falken ZIEX 912s, 205/55. I need all weather ties here in Hawaii for a daily driver. I was happy with the Falkens but they are no longer available. Since there is a very limited selection of 205/55 thinking about going with a 195/55. It's not a perfect size match but it's pretty close and has more tire options. Thoughts on this size and Goodyear Eagle Sports?

Found 2 new Falken 912 205/55 x 15 on ebay. This should last about 2 years before I need to decide if I want to get 16" wheels.
