    My bird came stock with 215 60 16's in all four corners.
    I have been told that is the absolute narrowest tire that can be safely put on a 16 x 8 rim.
    I don't know anyone who has tried to put a 205 on one.
    It might fit but not safely

      That is correct, on stock wheels you cannot go below 215/60 - it simply won't fit the wheel!

                Yeah, and they where studded too. That's the main reason i was wondering.
