i currently have 185/14/60 tyres, and they look all bubbly and rubbish!!

but anyway they are worn and need changing now, i was thinking of getting "yokohama A539 tyres"... any good???

my gsi is very low... i want these new tyres in a 185/14/50 profile, so car will be 1-2cm lower to ground??

but i have seen a yokohama 185/14/55 A539 at a much cheaper price!!!
will the half a cm on the profile really make much difference to looks and clearance??

My mate replaced his 50s with 55s when they where worn and i honestly couldn't notice a difference, you'd probably be able to tell if u looked really hard at before and after pictures, but it hasn't made it look any worse (his car is lowered quite a lot aswell)

And the clearance is fine, no rubbing or anything.
