[s-cars] Did the S6 16" wheel come with smaller tires than 225-50-16?

[Dave Forgie]

AFAIK, no - 225/50/16 was the "design" 16 inch tire.  Unscrupulous used
car dealers will try to pass off other sizes (like take offs from some
lesser car).

 The sizes that approximately the same rolling diameter (24.86 in) as a
225/50/16  would be 215/55/16 (25.31 in or 2% taller) and 205/60/16
(25.69 in or 3% taller) or 195/65/16 (25.98 in or 4.5% taller). However,
stretching some of these tires on a fairly wide rim wouldn't be too
good.

Going the other way, 235/45/16 gives 24.33 inches or about 2% shorter.
(Tire width would start to be a potenial rubbing issue, especially at
full lock)
