I went thru 2 sets of rear and 1 set of front stock Yokohamas in 30k miles. I searched many sites and looked for same height,same weight and tredwear(I wanted stickier!). I found Toyo R1R tires fit the bill. I was going to get 195/50 up front but the manager at Les Scwab( the only place I found in town that carried most in stock) talked me into 205/45/16 and I'm so glad I did, it balances out the handiling. No rubbing at all! In the back I put 235/40/17 and again no problems at all. I get alot of questions about them because of the differant tred design. Cost about $875.00, not run flats but the're very few out there. I've got about 9k miles on them with stock rims. Good Luck!
