is 205/50R15 too small for street?

[nozomi]

thinking about getting Falken Azenis...but it only offer 205/50R15

and I will be driving on the street + racing events

is this size too small for daily street use?

should i go for something else that gives me at least 205/55R15?
I know Dunlop FM901 and kumho 712 has tat size

Way too small. 205/55-15 are noticeably smaller than stock and look funny (to me, at least). I would not go with an even smaller 50-series tire. They're nearly 5% smaller!

Im currently running 205/50-15's and yes they are small. If you want to see pics, go to the member rides and look my name up. I however have progress springs on the way so ill post pics of that asap. Im planing on either going with 215/50-15 or 205/55-15. Do they make 215/55-15?

I just slapped my summer tires back on and they go like stink... I'm running 205/50/15 S-03's. Maybe they look a little small but they handle like crazy - isn't that the point? ;)

I just got 205/55/15 Azenis and they are fine. Yes they are 4.7% off according to the tire calculator but I think Azenis run a little big because of the triple wall. But they feel really light.

Here's a pic of my new wheels

I daily drive on my 205/50/15 Azenis.
1. Yes they look smallish
2. I guarantee you I've got the stickiest street tire available in a 15" size on the market right now
3. Who cares about #1 when you've got #2! :D

1st off there are amazing tires wet or dry and your speedo won't be off by that much plus being smaller diameter you can accelerate just a little faster if your into drag racing
