Hit a pothole the other day, blew a tire. The rest were bald neways so i figured it was time to replace all of them. I have about 500-600 to spent and after shopping around a bit, hesslbien had th best offer i could find:
4 205/55r 16 89v Yokohama MIRADA sport Gtx v-rated tires. They seemed descent on paper, but i didnt get to seeem. I figured since they were recommended for my car that they would look close to the same as my lastset pretty much. They got put on and sure, i have NO traction problems now, but they look bulky and just sick lookin. I want the wider, more squared off look on my tires.

they only have a couple miles on them as of now, can i takee them back and get a different kind? MY car is literally like an inch or two higher with these things on and site different. Il ltry to get sum pix tomorrow.
HELP, thanks!

The stock tire size for your car is 205/50/16, so the 205/55 tire is .8" taller than the stock size tires. Also, your speedometer now reads about 3.3% too slow.
