Those of us who drive late model Accords, don't have 17" wheels, and want a tire which performs well on the road, have a dilemma: there is no V rated or higher ultra high performance or better tire in that size.

What to do? Some go to 215/60/16, others 215/55/16. The 6.5" wheels are better suited for either of those two sizes than the 205/60/16, but Honda goes with 205/60/16.

I am interested in hearing what tires, in what sizes, tirerack has found works well, especially in the 03 Accord, as a replacement for the original equipment 205/60/16 Turanza. From reading the sometimes criptic customer comments on tirerack, though, it seems that some alternative sizes and tires might not work on the new Accords because of rear wheel clearances, so that would be important to know.
