Default Tires

Hello, I need help with tire choice, I need tires for safety. My tires on car are 225 55 16. Will 225 50 16 tires fit? They are from Taurus. I have stock 96 GT 5 stars on my car.

They'll fit on the rim alright but you're switching from a 55 to a 50 series sidewall meaning that the tire diameter will be smaller.

+1 on the smaller. They will fit on the stock rims. Speedo might be slightly off, but not much. Should be no problems though.
