I have a new 2013 Sonic LS with the 195/65/15 tires on steelies. I am considering a new set of wheels and tires from Discount Tire Direct. I have picked out a set of 215/60/15 tires on one set of wheels,and for about another 90 dollars or so,I can get a set of 215/55/16 tires with another set. Do the 16 inch tires improve the handling of the car enough to really make a difference,or is it mainly aesthetics? As far as Plus One or Plus Two goes,the 215/60/15 tires are closer in circumference and overall diameter to the original size than the 215/55/16 tires. I am not planning to autocross or race the car-this is just a simple change of rubber. Thanks for any replies.
