I've just ordered "245/45YR-16 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW" from tirerack via internet. and someone just called me to make sure i'm aware of different charateristic on tires resulting performance changes.

Will there be a lot of change on performance?

If you are running the OE S02 on the front and the KDW would not have as good handling. The car will more than likely oversteer in an emergency situation. If you ran a set of four KDW then you would be fine.

Paul, You should have put my name on the order. I could have given you the reason why mixing isn't as good as the same tire on all four corners.

Jim,

If other than S02's should be 245/45, then why is the s2ki link to your site show 225/50's for the non-S02's?

Jim@tirerack

I tried to get them to fix it but it is something in the computer system and the OE tire they can't change. Thats why I tell people to call me.

The recommended sizes I have heard are 225/45/17, 245/40/17.
They will be shipped to 06830.

Thanks!

Jim, I always wondered on stock rims, isn't 245/45 a little too short in diameter? I thought it would look funny since the fronts are 205/55, which show a bigger diameter. How about running 245/50 in the rears, would that size work on the stock rear rims?
