Maybe some Michelin Pilot Sports in 205/55 YR16 and 245/45 YR16. Or ask Jim @ Tire Rack if those Fusion tires are good, the specs on sizes 225/50 WR16 and 245/45 WR16 look pretty close to the stock S02's.

Those F1 tires are an inch bigger in diameter than the stock S02's. On my car I could feel a big decrease in acceleration when I went to a 25 inch rear tire.
The correct rear size for the F1s is 225/50s, which are the correct diameter.
So the correct sizes would be the same as the OEM tire sizes:
205/55-16 front
225/50-16 rear

The problem with that is that the stock S02's have a tread width of 8.5 inches, the Goodyears are only 7.7 inches.
The best choice is still the Potenza S02's that came as original equipment on the car.

The F1s are a great rain tire. For maximum dry traction, I agree sticking with the OEM S02s would be best.
