I just checked the tire size yesterday on the front and rear. I have Sumitomo tires all around - the previous owner put a new set on for me... I checked this thread:

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48572

and it says I should be running a 245/45/16. I actually have 225/50/16 in the rear, and 205/55/16 in the front. Is that a problem? Can I run 225/55/16 in the front as well? Thanks in advance.

If you go with tires other than the stock S02, you should go up to a 245.

Also do not mis-match tire brands/models between the front and rear (which you haven't, just letting you know).

Finally, some auto-x people go up in size on the fronts, but for the most part the stock 205 size is the common one.

Enjoy the new car!

Cool thanks for the info Hockey...

 

205/55/16 front 225/50/16 rear is the correct stock size, and for the stock rims that is your best bet. Go any wider on that rim and the contact patch will not lay flat as it is pinched on the rim.
