joe, i'm running the bridgestone potenza re-11's on stock 16/17" wheels. the trick is that they don't have them in the 215/45-16 oem size for the front (there's almost nothing in that size at tire rack),so you go down to a 205/45-16.shop for the fronts and the backs separately,because they have different speed ratings-(ken's tip). i did that based on the advice of ken and others on here that 205 works fine,and the tires have been great.i have never reached the limit of their grip on the street,good steering response,quite low noise,and decent ride for an extreme performance tire. i have sometimes noticed a bit of bumpiness when cold,but it does go away. 3k miles on them and they look fine,have not tracked them.
