    245/50/16. i beat the crap out of my car, sideways multiple times. never rolled a bead or anything. they are wide enough to have great traction on stock wheels and they wont roll off the rim.

    i still have a set at home that i might throw back on over the summer.

    Same here, 245/50/16s and I abuse turns, zero issues. Basicaly buy a good rated/known tire and you have nothing to worry about.
