    225 is not only thing that grips... And biggest isn't always best!

    First thing is how much you want to spend? Go from there...

    Bridgestone Portenza RE970AS 225/50r16 Is my recommendation.

    245/50/16 is the biggest you can really run on the stock 16x6.5 rims.

    For our cars tire width really does not mean anything. Its all about suspension and tire quality.

    You got crap suspension and tires, it wont grip the road. And its FWD with tons of torque.......

    then keep stock 225/60/16 or +10 and go 235 and go for a quality tire with a temp and traction rating of A-AA and treadwear well above 300 and youll b happy as long as your fragrance of choice is not burning rubber

    I think the 245-50-r16s should fit they have AA traction rating and A for temperature and have a tread of 400 and they're all season

    Umm, if you want traction. All seasons are not the answer.

    I made this decision a long time ago, if you want traction the right way to do is buy an extra set of rims with slicks or drag radials. No street radial is going to compare.

    There are some nice ones with decent traction.

    But they're typically 150-250 a tire even heavily discounted.

    They won't compare, but you will have worlds more traction than a cheap all season.
