Just get a sticky 225/50 like a Dunlop Star Spec or Bridgestone RE-11.

225/50-16 rears are just fine on the AP1, you certainly don't NEED 245/45-16s as the stickie suggests. In any case, getting a make/model of tire that is consistent with your wants/needs/usage is more important than outright size.

Geez, can't we get RID of that stickie already?

I'm using toyo t1rs. But they have really weak sidewalls. I'll put my rims on my brothers 06 accord sedan and the tires looked like they're flat. :thumbdown:

I got my ap1 with the toyos also. I was soooo happy to take them off. I have bfg's now. The 16 has few tires in that size. Bummer!

If you are looking for better tires you are going to have to go with the 225/50R16 tires. The only thing I have in the 245/45R16 is the Fuzion ZRI.
If I can help let me know.
