Tire Size Qs
How wide of a tire can I go with on a 16x6.5 wheel (stock size is 205/65)?
215/55?
225/55?
Or should I stick with the stock width? I'm not necessarily looking for a Z-rated full-on performance tire--tread life and wet-road traction takes priority (hence, any specific tire I should consider)?
Thanks.

what car is this for?

^ok that helps. are you sure the stock size is 205 65 16, cause my parents V6 coupes are 205 60 16. the proper sizing would be to run a 215 55 16 or a 225 50 16 can also be used.

That said, I am getting a set of 215/55/16 BF Goodrich Traction TAs mounted on them today.
FYI, the 16" wheels I have are Honda Pilot EX alloys. Should make for an interesting look.
