[QUOTE="schone, post: 73213, member: 41"] Sorry - don't have price for 225 dragons. Both 225/50/16 and 205/55/16 are recommended sizes (see your manual). I had 225/50/16s before but when they wore out I shopped for a economical replacement. The 225 do look better as it's wider and will 'hang out' the stock rims a bit. You're right.. size is a rarity that's why I decided to stick back to 205/55/16 (cheaper too) ... now I regret :D My decision tree (based on cost, cheapest option first) DON"T DO : cheap 225/50/16 ... maybe RM450+ but very 'basic' tire DON'T DO : average 205/55/16 ... can get for RM350 or so each but no thrill and ride isn't that stable DO : higher end 205/55/16 - can get for about RM400 - doesn't look as good as 225 but I wish I did this instead of the above 2nd option DO : cool tires like JPB recommended on 225/50/16 ... just pay for it... I reckon RM600-800 each? [/QUOTE]
