the rear on the s02 is labeled as a 225 but it has the contact patch of a 245 due to its blocky design. and the guy said he wanted a little bit wider tires.

Thanx guys. I've searched on s2ki.com and they said the front was at 205/55/16? Is that correct? And the only brand of tires I could find was the yokohama es 100 with those staggered fitment. Does anyone know of any other tire brand?

more oversteer for daily driver??

stick with 205


es100= pretty old tire design, most of the cheaper and newer tire offers better grip with less green.

spt, fzi will be a better choice
