I thought WS6 wheels were 17's?

Either way, if it is a 16" factory wheel, you will want a 245/50/16. I personally like the Kumho Exsta ASX's. Depends on what you need for a tire. Mileage, traction, noise level....... If you want a drag radial with max hook, I would suggest the Mickey Thompson ET street radial in 255/50/16. That's what I have and cut 1.5 60fts with no traction issues.

I too like the first tire. The BFG COMP2 works very well. I highly recommend them for a summer tire.

245/50-16 General tire is a good tire. I'm on my 1st set and have 46,000 miles on them and they are still fairly quite. I can't stand a noisy tire.

anf they are Made in the USA!!!!!
