Go here - easiest way to quickly check fitment, available sizes, and pricing. One good place to start looking, in any event. I find it best to go up to the 'products' tab at the top of the page, then 'tires', then 'by brand' -- and select what you want to see. Their info by individual tire is fairly informative...
If you want a recommended fitment for a specific car, start by using there initial selection entry options at mid left for 'shop by car', entering your car, and then go from there....

I have to agree with everybody else on the PS2's. Fantastic tire, with the only downside of having less grip in the wet at high speed. I had the Goodyears F1 GSD3's on my former car as a replacement for the Pilot Sports and I was very pleased with them especially in the rain (best rain tire so far for me). My only concern with them was less steering feel for the road, when you compare them with the Pilots.
Nonetheless, I bought PS2's for my HRE's and don’t forget that I live in Seattle

also is this the best choice in tire i can make? i want equal or better performance than the stock tires but a bit better tread durability. I dont track my car but i do drive it pretty hard.

tire size
Can you go PS2 255 front and 285 rear with stock rims? What is considered optimum size? I don't race but I do drive aggressively. It seems like stock size would be best since that is what the manufacturer picked.
