Kevin- There are some decent 225/50/16 all season tires.. In fact- the
avs db yokohama worked well for me.. Tirerack has them, and since you
are up there in Reno, shipping cant cost all that much =)

You need to watch your speedo, especially if the tire guy thinks 225/60
is going to work..Thats like 7% off I think... sheesh...
