I ordered Kumho 712's at 205/50/16 and rear 225/50/16... but i noticed today the S02 are really 235 at the rear... does this mean i should go bigger in width for the kumho????? If anyone is riding Kumho 712's with stock wheels please tell me what tire size your riding with!!!
4 New rubbers for 550..tax in------is that good?
I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to parts... hahaha
Thanks
Where is the best place for S02?
ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND MODULO WHEELS
OR MUGEN MF-10's for 600 canadian bucks per rim?
Or am i wishing for these prices???

Sorry jbontym, but you have some bad sizes there...
PLYRS 3 is right for the rear, but missed the fronts. The fronts should be 205/55-16 not 225/50/16. If you go wider in the front and narrower in the back, the car will have more inherent oversteer characteristics.
Non S-02 sizes
205/55-16 - Front
245/45-16

BUT Doug, there are some people who do fine running stock sizes in non-SO2s. While I agree the sizes that you listed are better, there are some people who find the widths he ordered just fine.
If you can change the order, I would.

S02 are pretty expensive tires. One of the Goodyear garage that I know showed me the listed price for those tires more than 500$ for each tires...yikes!! But then he went up to me and said that the back will cost about 340$/each and the front 320$/each. Anyone knows some stores with better deals?
