Replacing 205/50/16 tyres with 205/55/16

I would like to get a slightly softer ride.

Is this legal/acceptable or a bad idea?

Thanks

Thanks!

I didn't think about the speedo under reading. If it will do so by 10% it's probably not a good idea for me. I could just imagine myself forgetting the under read

Not keen on changing the wheels really.

I had Gaz Gold suspension fitted a few years ago. It seemed a really good idea at the time and it does handle quite nicely just it's very firm.

The can be set to a softer setting but it just gets really bouncy which is even worse than being too hard.

Yeah, probably not a good idea. I think I will try some Rainsport 3 tyres in the correct size. I've heard they have quite soft sidewalls.
