Tire suggestion??

I'm trying to find some 205/50/16 tires for my 16" HFP wheels. So far i've looked around on sites like tirerack and discounttiredirect though can't reach a conclusion on which to buy. For whatever reason, tires in this size are much more expensive than my 15s.

I'm just looking for tires that emphasize more-so on road noise and creature comforts since I use the car mostly on highways. I suppose long tread life would be nice too.

What do you guys think?

Re: Tire suggestion??

I forgot to mention that price is a factor here. I could just go with a michellin since they seem to make good quality tires, though the Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S on tirerack.com costs $160 per tire .

Re: Tire suggestion??

michelins are blah, never liked em even for their crazy price. just go read the tirerack reviews and pick one. make sure you read the ones with alot of mileage on the tires.

Re: Tire suggestion??

you should get the yokohama parada spec-2 i just put them on my civic and what a difference. i bought them on 2dayparts.com for $71 but mine were 205/40/17 it should be cheaper for yours but check it out if you havent bought tires yet.
