Hey,Been trying to decide what tires I should put on those 16*6.5 that I currently have.

I decided on Hankook Ventus RS2 - but I am not sure what size to go for.The purpose is to get the best handling out of it :

225/50/16 (the size I currently have on the car)205/50/16205/45/16

They all fit according to hankook tire specs - just don't know what to pick for handling .....

205/55 is stock size, the 205/50 is your best bet
