I'm deciding that I'm going to keep the 16s on for the year but I have some long lasting all season crap tires on right now and they gotta go.
I was planning on getting a set of 225/50/16s but now I need suggestions as to which one. I'm not so much worried about life and I don't give two shits about ride quality as I am all for cornering and dry traction. From what little I do know, I think a stiff sidewall is almost a must from the way I remember the transition from my 17's performance tires to my 16" all seasons. It just felt like the front end went where it was supposed to, but the rear end swayed a bit to get back in line. The bridgesotne potenza RE050As look like they'd offer good traction, but there was a comment that the soft sidewall was something they were going to have to get used to. Then the Bridgestone Potenza S-02 looked even better from the compairson. I'm just looking for some educated help over the 16 year old kid at the next tire center.
