205/50's is recommended size on 16" wheels.
Ive had 16&17's but for everyday driving 16" are best imo ;)

215/45/17 is recommended size on 17s.

Massive improvement in ride.

Also compound plays a big difference.

I used to have 225/45/16 ad08s then moved to 215/45/17 ad08s. The ride was about the same.
