New rims! Which tires? What size?

I just bought some Rota R Spec in Championship White @ 16X7 +45 for my 2013 CBP Fit. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestion on tire manufactures, models, and size?

Also would anyone know if I can use the stock TPMS in my tires now with the new tires?

205-50-16 is a popular size tire for that wheel setup

See what you can afford in that tire size from Tire Rack and that should help narrow it down. Yes you can use your TPMS with new tires and wheels as long as the opening of the valve stem can accommodate your TPMS.

You will need to determine what you want to use the tires for and that should also narrow your search (all-season, winter, summer, max performance, occasional track days)

Personally I will be going with a set of Bridgestone RE-760's as soon as I need a set and they are currently on sale on Tire Rack

just bought 18" Drag rims that came of a '05 Civic, what are best tire size choices for my '10 base Fit?

stock tpms works on the rota r specs and 205/55/16 is pretty comfortable
