Default Yokohama AVS ES100

I need tires really bad I was looking on tire rack and I found alot of matches when it comes to the "recommended" tire size...But after reading a post in one of the fourms that said if you are not running Stock OE tires you should be running a 245/45/16 In the rear and 205/55/16 in the front...The reason listed was due to a contact patch on the bridgestone....Anyway on to my real question...Is this statement false? if not and I chose to go with this combo that I have listed rather then the recomended tires.....Will I increase over/Understeer? What are the differances I should expect if any and how would it be compared to stock?...Thanks alot John....

I think TireRack can only recommend OEM sizing. Go with the 245 but search by that size and not by S2000.

I think after you select your car model and year, then you click on "custon front and rear size", you can select the front and rear size that you like, example: 205/55R16 and 245/45R16. The next page will show you all brands and models that have both sizes.

Other than Yokohama ES100, you can buy both sizes 205/55R16 and 245/45R16:
Fuzion ZRi, Avon Tech M500, Bridgestone Potenza RE750 ...

do yourself a favor and choose something else other than the NOISY ASS ES100. Other people(not only s2k owners) I know who owned these tires have also complained about the noise.
