Default Recommended tire size for EM1???

Im fairly new to this...can anyone recommend me a tire size for 16x7s on an EM1...

Some much ride comfort is gained w/ the correct tire selection. Not to mention it keeps your gearing and speedo in sync.

195/55/15's or 205/50/15's for 15's

205/45/16's for 16's.

That would be correct for your 95 coupe. OP asked about an EM1, or 99-00 Civic Si, which came with larger stock tires. 205/45-16 is correct for that car.

Too bad I wish my car was still in this condition. These are 205/45/16s in the picture.
