I had to get 40's on mines due to the speed, but there are more choice in the 45 range.

205 = Tread width in milimeters.

40 = Sidewall height in percentage of tread width (40% of 205mm).

16 = Obviously what size wheel it fits.

and try to use this link to determine what size tires you need so your speedo doesn't go too off.

the difference is

40 is 1.2% to slow so @ 60 its at 59mph
45 is 2.3% to fast so @ 60 its at 61mph

i don't think its going to be too big of a difference.
