Default Tires Size

I am thinking about the Goodyear F1 GSD3 for my S. What size should i get front and back. Also what the best tire for the S beside the stock S02?

That depends on what you want to do. Choose a tire suitable for the way you drive. My next set of street tires will probably be the Hankook Ventus R-S2 Z212. Front 225/45X16 and rear 245/45X16.

For autocross I use 225/50X16 Kumho Ecsta V710 on all four wheels. They don't make a 245 in the V710.

For track tires, I use the Kumho V700 Victoracer. 225/50X16 Front and 245/45X16 rear.

There is a whole forum for this.

But the short answer is, if you want to duplicate the handling balance of the stock S02s you probably want 205/55R16 in the front and 245/45R16 in the rear.

Exactly.

I have 245s out back....my daily tires are Fuzion ZRis....I have S02s on my track wheels.

Head over to the wheels an tires section and talk to Jim at the Tire Rack. Excellent to do business with, and can make you a very good recommendation.
