They already don't make them in what I consider the right size- 245/45-16
First one goes back to the rear OEM size which is available which is what I'm doing- 225/50-16
Second one does not plan for a future that is not here yet, the saying is cross that bridge when you come to it. doing so before is a waste of stress

16", getting old, I bought them for less than $75 each when they closed them out. They have been in black bags in my basement since I bought them. Thought I'd have them on the car by now, but I haven't been putting the miles on like I used to.

Mr. Good Deals has yet to pay more than $75 for a tire for the S2000. (If you don't count the 8-10 sets of $240 a piece Hoosiers. )

Funny, my car has 34k miles on it and I've bought at least 11 sets of tires for it!
