Is 225/50 R16 going the way of the Dodo Bird?
Starting to sniff around about tires. I am pretty sure I need 205/55 up front and 225/50 in the back.
Interested in All-Season tires and the 225/50's are coming up empty where I live, and very few choices if I select summer tires.
Kind if interested in the Michelin Cross Climate's.
Thank you,

The Michelin CrossClimate 2 is an excellent all-season choice for your staggered setup. For the 225/50 rear size, you may need to order them online as selection can be limited locally. Check Tire Rack or Discount Tire for availability. They handle the staggered fitment well and provide great performance in all conditions.
