I'd say the stiffest possible tires like Bridgestones or Dunlops in 16" is probably the best choice. For my next set I'm getting 205/55R16 Kumho Ecsta 4X II. But I'm not a fan of traction  |
I'm using Kumho Ecsta XS 225/50-16, and I can assure you that the steering response is NOT worse than with the stock tires. Theory and reality are two different things. A bad alignment will kill response more than dropping to 16s will.
