i went to a local tires shop today and they have lots of sizes in 50 series but not 45 series. now, i was wondering would the wall on a 245/50/16 be that much taller then a 245/45/16? i was thinking of running 245/50/16's in the back and 225/50/16's in the front. i can get all 4 used for $100 mounted and balanced. i dont have the cash for new tires so figured these would do for now. they have very good tread left.

according to the tire size calculator. the 245/50/16's will be the same exact outer diameter as the 245/60/14's i had on the back of the red car. sweet.

Correct!!! Actually, there's some variation in tire od from mfg to mfg. mich pilots had larger dia potenzas in
225/60/14. My Falken Ziex 512 225/50/16 are same size as mich 225/60/14. go figure.
