So I stopped by a couple of local tire shops (those which are open on Sundays) and, not surprisingly, neither had ANYTHING in the correct size to replace the bad tire, let alone all 4. I know the Yoko AVS ES100's are discontinued, but I was hoping somebody would have them anyway, or at least one of the other options discussed in this forum and other places. At this point, I'm pretty sure I want to just replace all 4 since I confirmed that they were made in 2003...so they will be ready for the grave sooner than later anyway.

So I started thinking, and I wanted to confirm....

My '86 Targa has Fuchs from a same-year 930, which I am 85% certain are 7x16 in the front and 9x16 in the rear.

My current tire sizes (the Yokos) are:

205/50/16 front
245/45/16 rear

Are these even the correct sizes, and if I decide to lower my car to Euro height, what sizes should I go for to make sure that I don't get any rubbing when I do go lower?

Thanks.
