What you are running into is the 50 series tire spec.
Most of the 50 series are summer high performance tires.
Most of the all season tires are going to be 55 series.
These will cause your speedometer to run 3.4% low.
I just ordered a set of goodrich Potenza RE950's, 205/55HR-16s.
I've been told they handle well, and the buyer surveys on tire rack rate them very high.
I'm having them installed saturday afternoon (replacing Z rated fuldas which have no grip in the cold or snow).
I'll post my impressions of them afterwards. I only hope the taller side wall (0.4") won't undo the effect of the SAS bar I just installed.
