I understand it's tough to find the factory size (215/50R16) tires for the 16" wheels; most folks seem to be using 225/50 or 205/55 (the latter size is on my car now).
I see that Walmart has these Atlas Force UHP 215/50R16 tires:

Robot or human?

They're pretty reasonably (maybe too reasonably?) priced and well-reviewed; has anyone here had experience with them?

All-season Chinese Tire with 520 treadwear is going to wear very slowly so they will be hockey pucks in a couple of years. I wouldn’t buy personally, but I’m kind of a tire snob.

What would be the next best fit: 205/55R16, 215/55R16 or 225/50R16?

For a budget tire, I've been pretty happy with Douglas Performance in the past. They are made by one of the big brands and sold at Walmart.
Performance was honestly pretty great early on, but they went from 50% worn to blowout with little warning so it's sort of a "Cheap boots" situation, but they get the job done to hold you over for a couple years.

Decided to go, go, go, go Goodyear (and if you're old enough to remember that jingle... well you're old like me) - 205/55r16 Assurance Comfortdrive SL through Tire Rack. Got them yesterday, date coded 4422 so they haven't been on the shelf too long. Lots of good reviews for them, and should be fine for what I need. Thanks for the suggestions!

Good choice.
