Car is not lowered, never autocrossed, snow in VA Beach is not an issue, and daily driven..I will go to the track maybe 6 times a year...It also needs to be a taller tire than stock..

16" rims don't have many sizes. For a 8" rim your choices are 225/50, 245/50, and 245/45. I am not saying all of these will fit because I don't know the offset of your wheels. In addition, a 245/50 has a really big sidewall and I can't promise that they won't rub even at stock ride height. 225/50 is the most popular size and many tires come in that size.

Anyone have an opinion on General Altimax HP tires ? Goodyear Eagle LS ? Sumitomo HTR ? Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 ?

I've had sub par experience with daily driven/ drag strip experience with Goodyears, but I researched the Sumitomo's recently and was planing on buying 4 until a friend gave me two brand new BFG g-force t/a KD's
