Have an '09 xD and already have 40k+ on it and need new tires.

I go to tirerack.com and entered this car and it only comes back with 3 tires - 1 of which is exclusively ice and snow.

What the heck?

The size it tells me I need is 195/60-16.

Is this like the most rare tire size ever created?

The 2 it gives are the Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02 and the Dunlop SP Sport 5000 Symmetrical, with the Dunlop getting a better rating (7.1 vs 4.6 on the Bridgestone).

And these tires are expensive for a small car.

Anybody have any insights and advise????

Thanks!
