    Best All Season Option for ESM 002 16x8 ET20's

    I can't seem to find a good all season tire in 225/45R16 or 215/45R16.

    I think 205's would be too streached.

    I like the Continental DWS' and the come in the following potential options:

    225/50R16 (almost a full inch taller than the stock tire)
    205/50/16 (possible a little too streached by perfect hight)

    Suggestions?

    Thanks

    I'd run the 205/50. It will look fine and like you said it will be the correct height.

      Running 205/50 on the same wheels. Looks fine, stretch is not noticeable imo.

        Good deal.

        I will be going with this size as well.

        Will post picks for future reference.

              205/50/16 and 225/45/16 have almost exact same sidewall. And closest diameter to stock this is why I went with this my 225 has slight stretch on the 9" wheel but the 8" has almost none with the 205 different tires as well

              Good luck
