I would go with size 50 tire since you're riding on 16's. Unless you have a major race suspension. Personaly, I would buy your tires at Les Schawb so you can take advantage of tire insureance. I had them replace a few tire when there were no problems with them (barely). And thats for free...

i have koni yellows with eibach prokit, but i have the koni's sitting pretty low, my car is actually really low. Not easy to get the lift stands under them at ntb for example. I just need tires quick, i'm thinking about going with kuhmo 712's b/c winter is comming up and these atleast have some tread to them. I'm going to look at tirerack.com now, i think they carry kuhmo. I love falken and all, i've had 2 pairs but the azenis's are just a little to racey for a possible snowy winter( most likely some snow). advice is appreciated from all you guys.

if you have an extra set of rims get a set of snow tires to go on them, i have heard a lot of discussion on this and that seems to be a consensus.... if not I would still looking into buying snow tires specifically for winter
and yes tirrack is one of the best deals out there

Not too wise I think. On cold, wet roads, your all seasons up front might actually have more traction than your summer treads in the rear. You really don't want your tail stepping out unexpectedly on public roads, there's too much stuff to hit if you can't recover from the oversteer. In the winter you always want the rear end of your car planted.
