Hum, Eagle F1 GS-D3s are what I would get. Either in:
225/50ZR16 or 225/55YR16

I dont' think they can go that wide and tall. More like 205-50-16 probably. I'm not a honda expert though...

Oh shit I forgot this was a 16. Haha sorry. I would think it could do the width, but go with 45s instead. Nonetheless, they only make a 45 in 205.

205/45/16 is the best setup for 16 on a HONDA. 50's are nice..but alittle on the chuby side :P .40/35 rides like arse...now for tires...I like the FLKN GR BETAs..they are awesome tires all around. Hmmmm maybe the NITTO Neo-Gens. But for around here you might want something a little more seasonal.

I've had really good experiences with these, by far the stickiest max performance tire out there, with impressive treadwear.
