not sure about 16s, but blair's was doin them for $140 each for 195/50R15 fitted and balanced.....so 4 tyres would be $560.....its pretty cheap considering the performance of the tyre...but then again its also a common size.
Goodyear GSD3 best of the best in the wet, those tread grooves stays sharp even as the tyres get worn thus breaking the surface tension of water on the road esp when the roads are not very wet ie greasy. Downside of this tyre is that the tread pattern generate a lot of tyre noise esp after half worn which might or might not bother you. Was hoping to get this for my EG civic on fat fives/195/50R15 but they were out of stock so I bought the BFG G force sport ( also made in Thailland ) instead which I'm v happy with. Won't worry about the country of origin for a multinational company like Goodyear.
ES100 gets not only noisy after 1-2 years in service, but also hard as a rock and loses much of its grip.
Precedas are the most $$$, but rides the best, very quiet, good predictable grip, and retains much of its grip all the way down the the treadwear indicators.
GIIIs tread blocks feels flexy when new, less so once it's 20-30% worn. Forgiving and predictable tyre.
DZ101's gets rave reviews at the tirerack website user surveys, not a cheap tyre and priced closer to the Precedas than the GSD3's.
I don't think Yoko make the ES100's anymore. This is the tyre I was going to go for but no one could get them and I am sure they said they don't make them anymore.
