Go 205s! And, arent you running the 17s still? 50 seems like a large profile...

i think richie has 35's atm. probably very very rough. id suggest 40's but definately NOT 50's as they would rub inside the guards like theres no tommorow, theyd also rub on full lock and make a very unpleasant noise.
ive got 205/50/16's atm that im just cruising around on untill there dead and they do rub a fair bit at the back. and at the front on full lock.

definitly go 205/40R17, being a more common tyre they should actually work out cheaper, the rides not too bad, even my wife doesn't mind them.

most small cars go to 205/40's hence being more popular
