Im going to be getting a s2k with in 2 weeks. I was wondering what kind of tires you guys use since you are in my area and know the weather. Do you have a set of snow tires? Also ware do you get your tires from? local or ship them?

Im in the Tulsa area. Actually im in tahlequah but i would go to Tulsa for tires.

 

falken fk452 !!! I've had 3 sets on two cars and I love them. They worked great in snow and last forever

 

Are they the same ones you ran on the track?

 

yea. I had some nitto NeoGens and they look cool as hell but wore out quick and lost their grip when they wore down.

 

why are you waiting 2 weeks before you get that nfr s2k?

 

Because its in north dekota and the guy wont be their this weekend.

Ware do you get your tires from. How much do you pay usually.

 

fk452 ftw for sure!!! i will vouche for it as well. I love all falken products but for the s the fk's sets it off nicey.

 

ware do you guys get them at? Just sears or pepboys or somethin.

 

For the majority of my ownership, I've ran Fuzion ZRis which claim to be the best-bang-for-the-buck tire for the S. I usually ordered them from Jim@Tirerack (however, they can be found locally at many Firestone and Hibdon stores) and had them shipped to Rally Distributing to have them mounted. However, I don't drive mine daily and rarely in the rain and never in the snow/ice.

If you plan on daily driving and tracking the car, I'd suggest all-seasons for daily driving and maximum/extreme or ultra high performance summer tires for track. There's lots of S2000-specific tire info here: Wheels and Tires forum. Hope that helps!

 

yes, julie always has a point. the fk452's do have great tread wear though. also i would buy from discounttire or tirerack. They are actually 2 discounttire places being built and open and one is almost finished and the other is apparently finished. Im pretty excited as the word on the street is the prices will be the same as there online price.

So take a look on those 2 websites, you will notice a huge price deviation over pepboys and sears you are talking about.
