Default Yokohama AVS ES100 - Quick question for Jim

I have a quick question about tire size for the Yokohama AVS ES100.

On AP1 wheels, can you run this setup?

Yokohama AVS ES100

Front: 205/50 WR16

Rear: 245/45 WR16

Thanks for you help!

The front should be 205/55R16, 205/50R16 is about 1" smaller in overall diameter.
If you go with 205/55R16 Front and 245/45R16 Rear, then either Fuzion ZRi or Avon Tech M500 are better choice and cheapper than ES100. For a little more money (about $130 a set of 4), Potenza RE750 is much better and has longer tread life than ES100.

I like TR-S2K recommendation as well. The ES100 will work fine on the car but they are a little noisy. The RE750 also has a 50.00 mail in rebate at this time on a set of four tires.
If I can help with the tires let me know.
