My tires are starting to wear out at 4000 miles. Anyone have 245/45 size s02 pp experience? Does it stick out?

Thanks

SenSpeed,

Yes, 245/45/16 fits well. Several people on the board have that size in the rear.

But, the tires to get are the S03 245/45/16. They have a wider tread width than the S02 Pole positions.

The 245/45/16 S03's will be available next month!

I just put on yesterday the S03s but kept at 225/50/16 for rears after much research. That size in the S03 appears closest to OEM S02 tread size.

So far so good. Drove home in rain yesterday without fear of hydroplaning. Performed well. I will keep the board posted, although I am not the best tester as the car is my daily driver, and I don't autocross. I do however V-tec daily and have the occasional friendly short runs.
