Default How come nobody stocks 215/45/16?

All that I really want is a good set of 215/45/16's and I cannot find them anywhere. Good wet and dry performance...that is all that I ask and I can't find a damn thing. Tirerack.com has about 6 different tires in that size, but they are all way over 150+...this is pissing me off....

Will the 205's fit the 16x7's well? I just got my Volks yesterday and I am impatient about getting them on the car....

Don't want to run the Azenis this winter...I have them now on my car and I love them to no end...but in wet weather they haven't performed at the level that I would feel comfortable with this winter.

here are some #s provided by another h-t member

Outer diameter in inches:
195/55-15 23.44 (stock)
215/45-16 23.62 (+0.74 percent)
205/45-16 23.26 (-0.77 percent)
205/40-17 23.46 (+0.05 percent

btw azenis are extra wide for the rated sizes

Thanks a lot for the input on that...I was going to ask that in a minute. Will be sure to post pics when I finally get the tires put on.
