toyo 888s are a great tyre. been told the yoko a048r's are very good also (just got a pair to try out as it happens) but moe expensive than the 888s.

You'll find you'll have to get a 195/50. I found the 888s to have quite a bulgy sidewall which means higher ride height whereas the a048rs are straighter.

A048s (195/50 16s tho)
