If those are real "IROC" wheels, they should be 245/50-R16. If they are the 15" wheels, they should be like 215/60/15 I think, maybe 65 though.

I got Firestone Firehawk and am happy with them. They aren't the best performing tires out there but they are a good tire. They are 235/60/15 nad gave me more traction and better braking.

If I were in your position, I would just get the 1st ones, the UHP's

But they might not be the "best" for "all weather"
