The Kumho's are decent street tires for the price.
I see alot of autox people using that tire...including some friends of mine who autocross.
But, I would try getting the 245/45/16 for your rears.
225/50/16 Kumho's are 8 inches for tread width and 24.9 in diameter.
245/45/16 Kumho's are 9.1 inches for tread width and 24.6 in diameter.
Stock tread width is 8.5 and stock diameter is 24.8 inches.
They will not be anywhere as grippy as your stock S02's...but they last a long time and they are good for wet weather.

dude, don't get it. No matter for what price. It is not worth it. I have it on my car, thinking I am going to racing tire later. In the mean time, therer is no traction at the rear of my car. My lap time dropped 2 seconds per lap in Gingerman. Way off pace. Now, I use them to do burn out. So far, I only used up 3/32 in 6 weeks. Gee, another 5/32 to go. If you like to do fish tail on S2000. That is the best tire to have. Otherwise, get yourself a good tire and be safe.
