Are Goodyear Eagle RSA's decent, and how far off will the size be?

I'm considering a used s2000 at a dealer, and they have replaced the rear tires with Goodyear RSA's in 225/50/16. I realize that those are stock tire sizes, but I am also aware of the size difference of the so-2's compared with other tires. Should I be concerned? Should I make them change the tires out if I buy it? Thanks!

The RSA is only a V speed rated tire and you will loose 1.2" contact patch over the OE tires. The other thing is the RSA is an average performing All season tire.
Would it hurt the car to run these tires? No
Would I recommend the tire for the car? No
Let me know if I can help.
