: The hot set up for these cars is a 205 55 16 on a 16"x7.5" wheel. The Michelin Pilot at nearly $200 each is a fantastic tire. The Nitto 450 extreme at half that price is a pretty fair tire.
: Going to 16" tires greatly improves the handling on these cars with little or no noise and ride compromise.
IMHO, all of this is correct except for "ride compromise". Over time, I've changed from 14" stock wheels to TRX wheels (390mm=15.3") to 16" wheels. Each time, there was a loss of ride quality. But, man does it handle!
