I was wondering what experiences or recommendations you gurus out here would have regarding tire size limitations. I checked Tire Rack's site for tires with the same size as the original on my 99 SVT (215/50/16) and there seems to be very little to choose from. My local tire shop said I could easily use a 225/50/16 with no clearance problems. Unfortunately I don't trust them completely. I had a set of Conti Extreme Contacts on my last car (95 Subaru SVX) and I loved them. Great handling, really quiet and great in the wet and snow. They are available in 225/50.16 but I don't want to drop the bread only to find out they won't work.
