If it is an AP1 that would be the only sizes available. If I can help with the tires let mw know. They do have a 40.00 mail in rebate at this time.

I loved these tires when I had them on my TSX. I think they may be a little too "spongey" on a S2k though.

"spongy" usually implies that the sidewalls aren't stiff enough or that the tires feel like they're deflecting or squishy. Though that's hardly quantifiable as for a reason to dislike the tire since it's a matter of taste and driving style. I've heard people say that the Direzzas are squishy or spongy. My dad has a set of S-Drives on his Boxster, and for cruising or commuting they're excellent since they are pretty quiet given their tread design, and the ride quality is very good for a "sport" tire. It's a GT or a "Luxury" sport tire.

Yes, by "spongey" I meant having soft sidewalls. I had to increase air pressure to get them to feel more stable. They are very comfortable and do not wear too fast. But for me, just not for the S.
