I just got some Dunlop Sport A2's in 215/55/16 (stock size) for my car. They got a good rating and are fairly cheap. Very quiet also....

I jsut got Bridgestone potenza re730's 225/50/16ZR not too bad. Very happy with the performace so far as for price? I got them at Costco for 119 each tire installed plus they had a special (a 60 dollar off coupon). I thought that was cheap. Decent tires for less than 500 bucks.

that's exactly what I have party boy... a very good choice. Leon, go with 225s instead of stock 215s, and definitely take a good look at the Potenzas, I've never heard of someone disappointed with them.

edit: Also, keep the stock profile (225X50 or 215X55). Low profile tires are made for larger diameter wheels and will look funny and mess up your speedometer on your stock 16s.

225/50/WR16 Dunlop SP5000's

Can't recommend a better choice!, but then again, take into consideration what you need this tire for (rain/snow/dry/type of drive, etc.)!
