    I don't think there is a "better" tire size. It all depends on if you want a tall skinny tire or a shorter fat tire. If you are downsizing your tire, you don't have to worry about rubbing or anything. It probably comes down to availability or price.

    If you're looking for a thinner tire, but not trying to play with the height, play with the middle number. You'll maintain the same height but only adjust the width.

    I know we all know this, but just for clarity:

    Standard=Overall diameter X Tread Width X Rim size in inches.
    Metric=Tread Width X Profile* X Rim size in inches.
    *profile is a percentage of tread width.

    So thinner tire on standard measurement is smaller middle number and thinner tire on metric measurement is smaller first number and bigger middle number.

    I just want to make sure we don't get confused....;)
