Default Help with non OEM tire size

Hi
I am looking for new tires for my MY03. I live in an area with lots of rain so I am looking for a good wet tire.
I am looking at the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires.
Would I be correct to assume the right tire size to order would be:

Front
205/55R16 or 225/50R16

Rear
245/45R16

I have the only S2000 for hundreds of miles so the local tire guy does not understand what the car needs. Any advice would be appreciated.

Yeah, that'll be ok. 215's is probably what I'd go with in the fronts, though.

If you choose the Pilot AS then you would want the 205/55R16 and 225/50R16. They do not have a 245/45R16 in the Pilot AS.
If I can help let me know.

Thanks Jim...Any comments on this tire would be appreciated. Like I said I am looking for a good tire that will perform well in heavy rain. I have read that these tires are pretty good both wet and dry conditions. My OEM tires are getting dangerious in the rain.
Thanks again.
