Kumho Ecsta 712. Very cheap and is considered a high performance summer/wet tire.

Alternatively Falken ZIEX 512 is a "high performance" all season that I use on my girlfriends Mazda 6 - and we experience moderate amounts of snow.

I don't believe the 711's come in the OEM size (205-55-16).

I'd recommend the Ecsta 712's. I've used those on my OEM wheels and also my 17's and they were a great tire on dry and rain. Best bang for the buck. Now I'm running Kumho MX's which I like even better... super grippy!

the 712 will fit my rims... i don't want to buy them and find out that they don't fit. (i just have to be sure i don't want to spend that much on a useless item)

Dammit man, go outside and look at the wall of your tire. :roll:
