Sorry guys -
I typo-ed.  Where it says 255/50/16 it should say 225/50/16.
I am comparing a 255/50 to a 215/55.
The 215/55 is slightly taller and narrower than the 255/50(stock size)
and im hoping will have less tramlinning problems but still reasonable
performance........
Thanks for all the response.
