Default I used a 215-55-16 with non-sport... filled the gap well and worked great.

But a 225-50 is better, just be careful as some tires will *just* rub in that size. Uncommon but possible with a really wide/square tread pattern.

Default 50 is closer to stock than 45. I'm running 225/50/16 snows right now.

I'd rather have 195/65/15's, but I got these used for a deal.
