Default Yokohama's for your stock wheels?

Anyone know if we can get Yokohama's for our stock wheels.
I like the Bridgestones that it came with, but they don't have the stickyness I feel

Currently I have A032R's on my stock wheels. 245/45/16's rear, 225/50/16's front. I have more oversteer but I have had no problems with this setup, even on track day. I am sure you can get other styles as well, from yokohama, that wil fit.

MORE oversteer? Really?
The reason I wanted Yokohamas to begin with was to reduce the oversteer. I thought they would help with that. Do you think SO2's are the best tire available right now?

Yes, more oversteer. To reduce oversteer all you need to do is change the fronts to a narrower size. This will give you the setup you are looking for and will still fit the stock rims.

The stock stagger is approximately 25% smaller front than rear. The stock 205/225 rating is really 205/245+. Check out the FAQ section, the link is at the top of the page.
