What tires do you guys think I should get?

I'm thinking of buying new tires for the 2001 5 spoke 16" rims that I just bought. What size tire should I put on them and what brand? I've done a search and people recommend either Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 or Bridgestone Potenza RE950. Which of these two would you guys think i should put on. Please give me personal opinions and experiences with both tires. Let me know how they performed (dry, wet, snow?).. how they lived up.. their treadlife... the noise and comfort level. I'm also thinking of getting wider tires. What size should I get? I went to the tire calculation page and from the stock size of 215/55/16 they said a 235/50/16 wouldnt throw off the speedometer that much... only 0.2% too fast, so if my speedo read 60 i would really be going 59.9mph. Is this size too wide for a maxima. I haven't been able to find the brigestone tires in this size or hardly any tires in this size really. What do you guys recommend in tire size and brand? Also Im going to drop my car pretty soon. B+G Springs and AGX shocks. Thats about 1.6 drop i beleive. I drive a '97 maxima. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Oh yeah for all you 16" ppl out there.. wut size tire to you guys ride on (excluding the stock size of course)?
