There is too little information here to answer your question...

You need to tell us what model year your car is (change you profile using the "MyS2K" link at the top of the page. Then read the Technical FAQ - a sticky at the top of the main UK Forum, you may then like to perform a search on tyres (this subject has been done to death to be honest). Then assuming you have an S2000, I'd ask the question in the main UK Forum...

wacked some new pots on last night , just drove home in torrential rain from work down the m4 and the diffrence in the rear end skits is marked. it felt confident to drive what a diffrence from a week ago when the arse end felt like it wanted to step out at any excuse, i must have had rose tinted glasses on when i looked at the car at the dealership because they looked ok im a happy man again.It frightend me a little at the skittishness of the back end in the rain but being my first rear wheel drive car for 30 years be it a quick one i was disappointed this does not mean that ive dropped my guard but now feel safer driving in what was realy bad conditions
