Re: (Esteban)

The 16" wheels with OE size 205/55/16 are the best all around for these cars. Just be sure to have a nice all season tire, with low rolling resistance, and whatever you do, steer clear of the Goodyear RSAs. Awful tires.PS: I have pretty extensive tire knowledge, having worked in the industry, a...
