OK - I give up - how the hell do you post a picture on the "improved" site?

Does the picture, by any chance, say ES02JZ?

Event Mobile Tyres are coming to fit me some new rears on Saturday AM and when I phoned and ordered, the conversation went a bit like:

"What car are they for?"
"Honda S2000"
"Front or rear?"
"Rear"
"You'll be wanting 225/50 R16 Bridgestone ES02JZs then"
"Whoah!"

I had all of the stuff written in front of me before I called, but in the end, they knew it all. Impressed.

If you'd like to see the pic use the URL above (I was really just trying to see how to post a picture using v4 - looks like this can't be done just at the mo).

I took this on Sunday and its a pic of shortblokes' nsr tyre! He's just had tyres and geometry done and I took the pic because when I upgrade my S0-3's to S0-2's I want to make damn sure I get the right ones (yes I have printed this out on a colour laser at work and, no, new tyres won't be going anywhere near my rims unless they have the right markings). What can't speak can't lie and if any tyre fitter says "no such tyre" I will be saying "do you really think I photoshopped this?"

I am off to the now famous Bracknell Tyres in a week to get a set fitted. On the phone they sound as though they know their stuf. They 'do' 8 to 10 S2000s a week they said!

I'm after a pair of rears, what area do 'Event Mobile' cover ?? Can anyone recommend a supplier and fitter in the Northampton/Milton Keynes area, or is it worth the trek to Bracknell

That's where I went, they were very good. They commented that they had almost got through a day without doing an S2000 when I showed up

It's tricky to find though, I managed it more by luck than anything!

New tyres fitted and I'm well impressed with the service

Event Mobile Tyres do a lot of premium stuff ('raris, Maseratis and Lambos) as well as the usual Mondeos and Vectra, so they are pretty clued up. The chap showed me his tyre machine, which has plastic inserts to protect the rims of exotic wheels and sure enough, my wheels were like new after the tyres were changed.

That, combined with the fact that he turned up at 8.30am on a Saturday morning and had the tyres swapped by 9am meant that I'll probably never leave home to get tyres done again
