Tire forum would be a better place to ask, but I'm running 205/55/16 front and 245/45/16 rear on a Toyo T1R

Ah, sorry thought that was where i posted it .. Mod. wanna help me out and bump me over to the Tire forum that would be great.

And I have had the hardest time finding a 245/45/16!

Is the handling better with a 205 vs a 225 in the front?

I've stayed with the OEM S02's, don't want to chance getting something I won't like.

I have 205/55 and 245/45 respectively....Fuzion ZRis. Brigestone product that is significantly cheaper than the S02, but in my opinion, performs to just a notch below the S02...which is good enough for me.

On a MY00, unless you have suspension mods to reduce oversteer, I'd stick with a 205/55/16 and 245/45/16 in anything other than an S02. (225/50/16 Rear)
