Default quick tire question(opinions)

Ok.....Im switching from 17s to 16 inch wheels now...I have never had 16s...I have always used 205-40 tires with the 17s...IM just wondering .....since i was happy with 205-40s....I was going to get them with the 16s also...but I dont see or hear of alot of people getting that size tire with 16s....is there a particular reason for this? All of you with 16s...what size tire do you prefer and why?

if you wanna keep the same height then get a 205/50/16 but if you liked the handling and characteristics of the 205/40 then go with it. You will just lose an inch worth of wheel.

Never seen a 205/50-16 on a civic. Seems too tall. I've never tried 45s, always stuck with 40s. Not for any particular reason, except to keep within diameters I guess. Happy with them.
