OK, this will be a daily driver and I don't do any tracking. I want an all-season tire. This tire will for the most part be driven between NC, but I do drive further north on the east coast, so may come in contact with some snow. I got 16x7 rims and just need the tires.
My priorities are as follows:
1. Handling
2. Price
3. Noise
4. Wear

I am looking at a 205/50/16 tire, here are my choices:

Fuzion HR1
Falken Ziex ZE-512
Falken GR Beta FK-457
Kumho Ecsta ASX
Kumho Ecsta Supra 712
Pirelli P-Nero M&S
Nitto NT Neo Gen VR

Also are there any benefits with using the 205/55/16? Or will I just have rubbing and such.

Thanks in advance

 

You'll get opinions, but my advice would be to get on www.tirerack.com and check out the ratings, read the reviews, and go from there.
