I wonder how "complete" Tire Rack's selection of tires is.

I also noticed that the Michelin HydroEdge is available in 205/55R16.
if it was me, Id go at least a size larger, it will definitely help lower your RPM
plus, road noise could be cut by 1/2 just by upsizing 1 size.
I cant say how well those hydro edges will work for LRR, but Im pretty sure you can find any of the other tires mentioned in a 205/55/16. you also might look into a 195/55/16 (if possible) going slightly thinner and slightly taller will make a pretty big difference, however, you will lose enough traction that you will notice a difference. whether that is a problem for you is entirely up to you
