    Sidewall will be just a tad smaller.

    More than a tad

    225/60/16 is 26.63 inches tall

    225/55/16 is 25.74 inches tall

    Sidewall is almost a full 1/2" difference.

    Don't ride smaller sidewall on prix. For style and comfort reasons alone.

    If comfort is the most important concern what would be the best size and maybe brand/model to use ?
