New tire suggestions?

So as most of us kno by now im sure, its probably impossible to find the 185/55R16 recommended for the Sport.
This is my first tire change for my Fit and im tryin to find a close fitting but affordable equivalent.
I'm kinda on a tight budget, hence the cheap+efficient vehicle.
Shoot, i'm finding it hard to find sizes under 200mm that fit on rims larger than 15 inches. or any under 200mm...
I'm probly lookin in the wrong places, so some friendly suggestions would be nice.
Who or what to look for, close fits [as in tires], yada yada...
I'm gunna search for those new Michellin eco-friendly ones.

It's been talked about before do a search and you'll find
lots on this subject.
but in short the best match is 205/50/16

New tire recommendation

Since you live in San Diego, you might consider the Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport. It's supposed to be a good summer tire, with good tread life, and performance. And these tires come in 205/50/R16.for $99.00 at Tire Rack. I am considering these tires to replce the OEM tires when my 2010 Sport comes in soon. And since I live in Northern Indiana, I will also buy some winter tires later.

Good luck in your search.

If I had to get tires today I'd buy 205-50-16 Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tires from Home - Discount Tire Direct or tirerack.com

You can indeed get tires in the stock size too for $80 or so a pop
