205/55/16 and 225/50/16 should be ran. the 245s are the right choice for the rear non OEM summer tires, but the skinnier the winter tire the better.

I went with the larger size because I couldn't get the dunlops in the stock size. even with the larger contact patch i didn't have any problems in the snow.

Sounds good, were you able to get them in the correct size to fit the ap1 wheels? i.e. 205/55/16 and 245/45/16? Or did you have to run 225 in the back?
I forget. They're buried in the basement at the moment, so I can't easily check them. I just asked Jim from Tirerack over on the tire forum, and I went with the sizes he recommended. It was the same size the website recommends when you tell it you have an S2000.
