When I bought the car it came with some dry-rotted, typical in arizona I have learned, tires
Sitting with 16" bmw rims and 205 55 16 tires
I looked on the door and the only tire size for 16" was 225/50ZR16
So knowing I will never exceed 130mph I went with a cheaper version of that size..
The General Evertrek HP Tire is a high-performance, all-season tire.
Speed Rating:-H
Load Index: -95
Speed Rating Translation:-130 mph
did I make a ok decision?

The tires you purchased will be fine. If you ever decided to change wheels, keep the offset in mind. Our cars come with offsets in the 40's. This will ensure you will not rub the sidewall on the fenders.
