The recommended tire, other than the OEM S0-2 would be a 245/45/16

Ok I got an email from Jim, he says they are on order from Yokohama. He does not know when they will come in. So I guess its time to search for an alternative.

Thanks for the help Jim

imo don't get these tires.. but.. i guess they're good for the price.. im assuming you already had these tires and rears went out, you're just buying a 2nd set for the rear.. but i thought the sidewalls were wayyyy too soft

I was told the tires are on national backorder , 6 to 8 weeks . I went with Sumitomo H something or other, tire rack claims it's a better tire . $300.00 fronts and rear delivered. If they suck bad I don't care my tires last 3 to 4 months anyway. My rears have been beyond bald for 2 months. It rained a few weeks ago and it was a good teaching tool to keep the car going straight.

SO2 tread width is 8.5"

Yoko AVS ES100 is 8.7 in 225/45/17



The 245/45/16 Yokos are 9.4"
