Tire Advice

I just ordered my HFP WHEELS for my GD fit.
They are 16 x 6.5 55 mm offset.
They call for 205 45 16
I am a daily driver and got to and from Long Island to New Jersey a lot. (FAMILY)

Give your opinions I think I want a summer performance tire as I just put new shoes on the stock sport wheels and will use them for winter.
I don't want real sticky tires or heavy tires that will reduce gas mileage.
I hope I am not being over optimistic with that??

I may be lowering the car on swift or progress springs not sure yet.
Any input on a lowered car and the BQE, BELT etc.. would be appreciated as well I don't fell like ripping out the oil pan

hello..=)
your could even be ok with a 205/50 R16 plus u get a little more side wall which should give u a better ride.. but if ur looking for a perf. tire ride quality is gonna be a little harder no matter what ..

Yea thanks I was thinking that myself. IT may also fill the wheel well a little more so I don't have to lower the car. also the 205 / 45 /16 seems to be more difficult to get no one seems to stock it. That would suck if I am on a trip and need a tire. still undecided though need to do more research. maybe some fit freaks could post some picks of this combination???
Thanks
