the cheapest i found are 118 each shipped for the rear and 102 for the fronts.

decently priced?

i dont know much about these tires, from the description it says its outstanding in the dry, what about when it rains? good tires to ride around on the street and some fun or is it more like for tracking?

thanks

The best size tire depends on the specific tire you choose. Sometimes the best handling is with 205/55R16 and 245/45R16. Other tires would be 225/50R16 and 245/45R16. The best performance tire that I have seen on the car in the 16" is the S02 that came on the car.
If I can help let me know.

I got the same combo with the RS-2's. The grip in the dry is good and in the rain they are ok, just dont drive like a nut in the rain.
205/55 frt, 245/45 rear
