205/55R16 is very common size. Have many brands and models.
Well, there is no such thing as a "best" tyre. You should choose a tyre that suits your priorities, meaning what is your criteria in choosing a tyre. Traction in dry, wet, handling, durability, comfort, budget and so on... smile_tongue.gif

Are you sure? I read all the reviews .... the biggest complaint is,... it wears out fast. That means it doesn't last long. Plus it is expensive, so making it not economical to purchase. Not I say one ah, mostly UK and US reviews say. smile_tongue.gif

For my own opinion, don't buy used tires unless you know who is the previous owner and the tires condition. No doubt that used tired may be cheap, but try not to put your life (your whole family life) to test on it.
People is willing to spend money to mod their rims, the performance part, the audio visual and etc.
When talk about tire, always opts for the cheaper/cheapest tires.
I feel that the whole vehicles, tires are playing the MOST important part. The tires have direct contact to the road surface whenever you drive. You guys should know the road condition of our country, to purchase a set of good tires is indirectly invest to our safety daily.
Spend some money to get a set of good tires. I'm sure you will feel it worth for any single penny you spend.

p/s: If you have more budget, go for Michelin. It won't goes wrong. If budget constraint, Hankook V12 is value for money.
