Default Help with Tyre choice for 2002 S2000

Hello chaps,

I need some advice on my tyre choice for a stock car. Ive searched all the previous posts but still unsure. Currently running potenza RE 050A's , If im going to put a non bridgestone on the rear do i need to go to 245/45/16 ? Seems T1R's are the only 245/45/16 avaialble, and i dont rate these!

Im afraid of making a wrong choice! how does the 245 look on the rim? Will a 225/50/16 F1 GSD3 look too small or be stretched over the rim or what ?

Has anyone else had this problem?

Any advice or comments appreciated

Thanks

Dave

Stick with the REO50A's.....that's what I did and have no regrets - they're a very good all round tyre. ( no pun intended)

I agree with smiffy. I've stayed with the Bridgestones, and I don't think you can beat them for an 'everyday' tyre.
