You can run a plethora of combinations with the OEM 16's. I recommend that you go to the tire forum and read.

With tires it's subjective to what you prefer. It's also determined to how much you want to pay.

Find the tire you want to use....and I'll help you determine the sizes for OEM or plus sizing.

For the record....I would recommend OEM rubber Potenza S02's for your car.

I am thinking of trying them (s02's) but I am also thinking falken azenis which are cheaper or advan neova which I heard was really good, but cant decide if I will buy a 16 or 17 inch rim, I am sure 17's have better tire choices, but that is also why I was wondering if I can run the wider width on 16's. where was that tire thread at? and I also read on the falken website that the recoemmended running 225 in the front and rear on there azenis st615. does that sound right, wouldnt it cause over steer? thanks

SO2's are great, i loved them.

i had a few friends get the Hankook Ventus R-S2 Z212.

from what i hear, they are very close to SO2s but have good traction in the rain (important with the season coming up).

i just bought a set, and waiting for them to come in. $376 no tax, free shipping. (www.tires.com)

I have run Yokohama AVS Sports in that size for almost 2 years now, and I really like them. The rears wear out quickly - but no faster than S02s I think Maybe it's just my leadfoot
