As i've heard about the S2K's tires, are the fornt smaller than the tires in the rear?

im not talking about the size's width, im talking about the size(largest) of the tires.

Still not sure what it is exactly you are asking. Are you asking about "diameter"? Or something else? The use of the appropriate term would help your question greatly.
If you are talking about diameter, then both front and rear are within 1/4" if each other. For all intent and purpose, they are the same diameter.

ooo, so all the tires are the same size in diameter? yepz that's all im asking like they all have the same diameter. I thought that the tires in the fornt are smaller than the tires in the rear.

like all four of the tires are 225/50/16 right? or should they be different for the rears and the fornt?


thanks for helping me out.

i have a feeling you're talking about the aspec ratio of the tire.
A.K.A. tire sidewall thickness.
Stock they come different in the front and back. front are thicker than back.

Jim@tirerack

The OE tires are 205/55R16 front and 225/50R16 rear. The height of these two sizes are within .2" so they are the same height.
If I can help let me know.

As "Stealth" has tried to explain, I think you are confusing "overall diameter", "tire width" and "aspect ratio" and what these mean and how these affect the dimensions of a tire.
As Jim just stated, the "overall diameter" if both front and rear OEM tires are almost the same, even though the widths are different. It is selecting the proper aspect ratio that keeps the diameter the same.

i think Jim answered my question. I was asking if the S02's tire sizes were all the same such as the height of the actual tires. It doesnt have anything to do with the width of the trends of the tires. I just wanted to know the tires height.

Thanks to all that helped.

p.s. sorry for the confusion
