Different tire size?

I have 225/55/R16 on my R129 currently. Will 225/60/R16 works for me?


95 R129
98 W163

If you wanted to, its better to go wider then taller. If your stock tires are 225/55/16 (25.7") then a 245/50/16 (25.6") would have an almost nil speedo error and offer you better performance. However if you look at Webmaster's posting, you will see that Firestone has the Firehawk SZ50s for real cheap at tirerack. I'd call Luke up, and grab some before they run out
