I just purchased a used 2000 Contour SVT and for whatever reason the previous owner had the previous SVT stock tire size on the car. The web reads that a 2000 had 215-50-16 and the tires on the car meet the 1998 205-55-16 fit.

I want to stay with stock rims, but I'm unsure about the tire size. Also...through me some advice on a good set of tires...preferrably ones that don't hydro.
