yeah there not the right tires for it. Im going to upgrade soon any suggestions
Since you have non OE tires, 225 on the rear is too small. IMO this is a HUGE risk on this car, especially for a new owner not used to RWD. You should either drive carefully till you put the appropriate size on it, or better yet replace then with (brand matching) 245s ASAP.

Not counting their rather short life, the S-02s have the best dry traction of any street tire I've used. If you need more life or better wet traction, the S-03s are better. I'd check out the Tire Forum here for more suggestions.

I'd stick with the oem tires personally...so2's, and if you get winter conditions in your area I'd highly recommend getting winter tires also like Blizzak lm22's (performance winter tire) because the so2's suck in the cold weather!

An '03 suzuka blue, the perfect choice in my opinion. Congrats!
