I've read several threads about how much the stock Toyos (215/55R16)suck. I still have plenty of meat on mine. I like the stock titanium colored rims on my SE-L. When I have to get new tires. What is the widest tire I can get for my application? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh, one other thing. I'd like to stay in the $120 to $130 range. Thanks again.

Try Bridgestone RE950's. I had the 930's and they were great. I imagine the 950's are even better. I currently have Dunlop SP5000's on my 17's and they are also excellent.
