Actually the best upgrade size for the 215/55/16 is 235/50/16. However, very few tire models available in that size.

thnks guyes for the input. the reason i asked was since i had to replace my tires. am not a fast/racy driver, and was recommended michelin Mxv4. however did some research on it,the tires did poorly on tirerack and on my experience. anyway opted for bridgestone re950.
given my driving style,deferred from the michelin pilot sports and bridgestone s03.

i would think the re950 will be better for sure than Mxv4.
