What size tire do you run on your stock 16x7 wheel?

Picked up my 2002 RL last week and it had 235/60/16 tires on it. They are bald and I'm looking to pick up new tires but I wanted to see what most prefer. I know 235/60 cannot be right. Tirerack says 225/50 but does anybody run 235 and if so with what sidewalk ratio?

225/55/16 is what I run on the stock wheels.

OE Spec is 215/60/16.

Interesting. Tirerack shows the original spec as 225/50/16. Or maybe I'm just reading it wrong. Would you mind adding why you prefer your tire size? I'm just trying to determine what size to go with. As I said, the car currently has 235/60/16 which seem nuts to me. The tires are huge.

225/50 Nexens. They are actually a little wider than normal 225's. They have a pretty aggressive look and a stiffer sidewall.

hmm. Maybe I'm running 225's.

I need to look, I have no clue.

I just picked up some Falken 912s. 225/55/16 in case anyone was wondering. They ride like a dream. Just need to make sure to rotate them and keep the alignment up so they last.
