I told him that tires are identical and it should be ok

tire size back - 225/50/16, front 205/55/16

i·den·ti·cal Adj.

1: exactly alike; incapable of being perceived as different
2: being the exact same one; not any other

you should really read what you write before posting b/c anyone with a 2nd grade reading level can see that 225/50 are different from 205/55

So go tell your tire place you are wrong and have a good time buying two new tires for the ones you just bought, b/c i dought they will return them since they are mounted to the rims and you drove on them. So you just bought 6 tires for your car. I think it would be wise to lissen to a mechanic if you are not 100% sure you are right, b/c if they #### up, and you are right. THEY have to pay for it. But in your case, they told you the right thing and YOU told them to do another, so its all going to come out of your pocket.

Sorry if im an ass



edit: their is not alot of differnce in the tires since your messured them but still why get widder tires in the back since your awd? does not make sence to me. should have go the same tires all the way around. But if you are sure on the diamiter then it "might" not hurt but still not a smart move to dought the mechanic then come on her and ask if you did the right thing.
