I would go for 205/65/16. That's what I got. Payed $87 for the tire and $35 for the installation, including shaving the nut cages. Wink
I just like the 205 for the "beefier look." That's all. Undecided

There are advantages to the size you want.
It goes right on without having to shave the nut cages. Undecided   It might handle better too... not sure. Wink

When I say I not sure I mean NOT SURE but isn't the Austone Taxi tire about this size you are asking about? One of our taxi tire riders may/might/could chime in here.  cooldude RIDE SAFE.

The Taxi tire is 175, but still a very viable option.

I like my Bridgestone Potenza 205. It has a good tread pattern for the rain , looks good and gets a bit better mileage , and will last a lot of miles
