Default Questions about AVS ES100

I asked this question in the Tire section, but no one answered it...so I was hoping the bay area folks could help me out. Well I ordered some AVS Es 100's in 245/45 16 WR for the rears of my car. When they arrived at my house, they were actually 245/45 16 ZR. My question is, would these be ok to mount on the car or should I return them?

Z rated will be fine. They are rated at 150+ mph.

^ I agree. Be careful with them until you scrub off the releasing compound. They feel really slick when you first get them on.

You might want to check if these would be the right size. I bought the same tires and then doing the research, i found that the s02's are underrated and if you are going to get a different brand I think you have to get different size tires.

245/45R16 is the correct size on the rears for the ES 100's

Yeah I still have S02's in front, and unfortunately I do know these tires arent all that good. But my rear tires look like slicks and had to pay major fees to repair my car, DUI case, etc....so I just needed something for the time being.
