Which tires to get in this situation?

Ok here's the scenario, i am getting some stock 5 spokes, 2 of which have tires already in 225/50/16 (kumho's) - i guess 712's/ecsta supra

Which of these tires would work best to compliment those tires/size?
(used tires )


215/60/16 - Yokohama AVS DB (70% tread)
235/60/16 - Dunlop SP Sport A2 (70% tread)
215/55/16 - Continental Conti Touring Contact (60% tread) - (least fav)

I really dont know the best choice. I would choose the yoko tires, but 60 means they are narrower right, as well as having smaller diameter. Which should i pick and why? (or none of them!, gotta be used tires tho)

Umm none will compliment them.

You should run the same size tire on all 4 corners.
Realistaically the same tire as well for balanced handling.

If you MUST go with one of those three, the Contis are the closest match.
you'd probably still be better off buying some new 225.50.16 of whatever tire is on the wheels to begin with.
