Default tire sizes

2006 accord 4dr 4cyl auto
i hope this is the appropriate forum
this is my first accord, beauty car. needs new tires, has 205 60 16
wish to upsize, the present ones seem a little small and are soon squealing when driven enthusiastically into corners, has anyone some experience with this, tire shops will not offer reccomendations.
Thanks Frank

Check TireRack (tirerack.com)

Depending on age, the rubber in your tires might just be getting hardened with age. You can choose softer (stickier) tires for your next set.

Look for "plus zero" sizes for your same rims. Or plus-1 or more if you want to buy new rims.

I'd go with Bridgestone Potenza 960's. Great handling tire on the Accord.
