try this....1010tires.com...find the tire size calculator in their tech section........but to be blunt....225 is what you need.....a 50 sidewall is BIGGER than what you currently have....plus 215 isnt gonna cut it for an 8 inch rim

now which tire should i go with? looking for a summer tire, maybe an all season. important factor is handling in dry and wet conditions. (i live in houston, where it never snows)
