What size are you planning to go with the 16's? The reason I ask is that my memory recalls finding 205/50R16s can be tricky (OEM size for 16's). However, the SVT supplement suggests a 205/55R16. So, part of what people recommend might not apply because a particular tire may not be offered in the size(s) you're looking at.
Based on what people have posted in the years, you really can't go wrong with any of the major brands posted here and those available from Tire Rack. I have run Nokian and Gislaved brands with no problems. People in my family and friends have run Michelins and Bridgestones without any problems as well.
