Default oem tire size

ok i just bought some stock ex accord alloy rims. for the reason of having winter rims. now i dont really know what the stock tire size it for 15x5 rims, but I want a kinda low profile look. though I also want a cushy ride you know. some tire sizes that i have been looking at is 205/50r-15 is that good enough size for a kinda low profile look and also a cushy ride. can someone give me some insight thanks much appreicated

stock specs are 195/60/15. A lot of people on here have 205/50/15 or 205/55/15. They say they feel great and an enjoy them. I am trying to go 225/50/15;o) Hopefully I can.

My old sold Accord used to have 195/50R15 and my current Accord have 205/55R15...

Comparing between two tire size.. I recommand 205/55R15..
Why? Better handling and looks much nicer on OEM rims..

if you go with 55's, your speedo is gonna be off = inaccurate ODO.
