Default i generally agree with Kris Hansen. i have 225/50 16, they work well. you could go 225/45 if....
you wanted a more aggressive look and feel. from what i gather to be your wants though, 225/50 would be a perfect size for a more aggressive look and tire without being too compromised towards summer performance.

Default I asked this before...how come no one is running 215-50s? Overall diameter is pretty close to stock.
205-55s...this size is rare but there are a couple tires out there with this size...any thoughts?
