I’m going to guess that the 16s are not going to be your performance tire. That means it snows by you and you don’t want to mess up toughs sweet 18s so, just go to the tire place and say I need a good winter tire. It really doesn’t matter too much because unless you plan on ice racing it they will pretty much all do the same thing. At that point it comes down to how much do you want to spend? Now I’m not saying go out and buy the cheapest tire out there, but you don’t have to drain your bank account ether. Just shop around.

I always go with americas tire company, they are good to my rims. Now since your buying 16''s for what reason we dont know, but if your just doing it as winter tires, go get some used ones for that type of application. Or I like a good BFG on 16''s
