Default Tyre Sizes?

Hello

My recently acquired S2000 has Bridgestone 225/50/16 on the rear and ditchfinder 205/50/16 on the front.

I have googled this and there seem to be mixed responses!

If I want to replace all 4 tyres with the Toyo T1R as I can get a full set fitted for about £300....are the sizes above correct?

Cheers

Those are wrong for the fronts.


Front 205/55 R16

Rear 225/50 R16

T1R's feel soggy on the S whereas they were great when I drove an EP3.

Have a read of that link LG posted

With Toyo you can fit 245/45/16 on the rears if you want , which gives the same contact patch on the road as the original Bridgstone SO2 which was an odd ball tyre only for the S , It was marked 225 but had a 235/245 tread width, not made anymore and skittish in the wet
