225-60R16s for sure. 215s just look too small for the body style.

Tires that I personally recommend:

Rated in rank

Bridgestone Potenza G 009 - $84
Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions - $118
Michelin Primacy MXV4 - $127
Michelin HydroEdge - $119
Bridgestone Turanza Serenity - $125
Goodyear Eagle ResponsEdge - $107
Goodyear Assurance TripleTred

G009s are definitely the best bang for the buck IMHO, but if you want to spend a little more for something better, I definitely recommend the HydroEdge or the TripleTreds for many reasons including that they both last 80-90k miles and are both EXCELLENT all seasons.

Yeah right, at $212 a piece, and beside mine doesn't spin the wheels enough to make enough smoke to be worth it

I have to just put my input in here, they are a bit more expensive I believe but, I just got a set of Continental ContiProContacts for my car and....WOW is about all I can say. I can barely ever get them to lose traction and let'* just say the speeds I can turn at without having a problem I cannot post on here... (their wet traction is amazing too, btw)
