What tire size should I select for 15x8 rims? 225/45-15 -OR- 205/50-15?

Had RSRs before; they are really nice, but AD08R are in a totally different league, both dry and wet. RSRs are much cheaper though, and overall they may be better value for money

No such trouble for me with the same wheels and tires. Local Discount Tire M&B’d them no questions asked, even the one I replaced after picking up a screw in the shoulder.
