No. The 205/45-16 size is not sold in the United States. As noted on the Yokohama website, the only 16" size of this tire sold in the States is 175/55-16.

i have same prob here in u.k in that that size isnt available but i cant find company that will import me a set either

think i may try takakaira

Yeah, and the 175/55/16 size is for a Lotus Elise primarily, although I could see some guys use these as their skinnies. =P

Anyone know where to get the 205/45/16 size?

I assume this is for an Integra or '97-00 Civic, for which you can use either 205/45-16 or 215/45-16.

The AD07 is a very good tire but you can get comparable tires from other brands in the sizes common here in the States. The AD07 was designed to offer outstanding grip on dry pavement, without regard to traction on wet pavement or treadlife (and is not great for those other characteristics). Similar tires widely available in the States include the Falken Azenis RT-615, BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KD, Bridgestone RE01R, and Kumho Ecsta MX. The RT-615 is available in 215/45-16, but none of the others are available in either 16" size. So if this is the kind of tire you're looking for, get the Falken Azenis RT-615 in 215/45-16.

Nope. I use 205/15/15 on the Civic.

This would actually be for a Lotus Elise...whose stock tires for the base model happen to be Advan AD07s.

STOCK FRONT:
175/55/16 for the Base Model
195/50/16 for the Sport Package
205/45/16 plus Zero Sizing for those who have more power and need additional grip in the front to reduce understeer.

STOCK REAR:
225/45/17 for both Base and Sport Package.
245/40/17 plus Zero Sizing for those who have more power and need additional grip in the front to reduce understeer.

But for a Civic, if these tires can be found, I might consider it on the Civic also. They are exellent tires for dry traction that are not R-compound, but very close to it.

You might find more knowledge about tires for your car on a Lotus board.

That's an excellent description of the Falken Azenis RT-615, which, unlike the AD07, is widely available in the States in 205/50-15 ($72/tire at Vulcan). (I assume you mean 205/50-15 and not 205/15-15. ) And the Falkens are stickier than the Advans; that's not just my opinion, but also the results found by the testers at Grassroots Motorsports. A stickier tire, in the right sizes, at a lower price, makes the choice of the RT-615 over the AD07 a no-brainer...

Actually, I am on the Lotus boards. Only problem is that smaller boards are not as active as a board like HT. 205/45/16 is a common size for Honda/Acuras, so I thought I'd give it a shot here.
