Hi. I like Michelin HydroEdge tires and want to put a set on my 06 Mustang (P215 65 R16), but am having issues finding it in that size. Costco, Sam's, and even the Michelin site don't show it in that size, yet I've seen them and found them on other sites such as tirebuyer.com. So, I'm confused.

• Any comments on why Michelin would not offer this tire in this size?
• What is the best rain tire for this car (in Memphis, TN)?
• We sometimes have ice here... what is a good tire for ice in this size?
• Is there another size I can use on my 06 Mustang (v6 regular) besides P215 R65 16?

Thanks,
Eljay

For practical purposes, a 225/60R16 is the same as a 215/65R16

My personal favourites are nokian hakkapeliittabut they are mostly used for snow / ice.

Michelin does discriminate some of the sizes they make right now.  Not 100% sure why.
