If you read through the comments, someone looked on the local court website and noted that the driver of the s2000 had 7 traffic infractions within a 2 year period recently. While still tragic, it makes the wreck and subsequent death not that surprising.

I think you have bit to much blind faith in Honda's engineers. Between the many makes and models of tires, the S02's are not the be all end all. Of course you didn't not say that, but your wording implies it.
There is *NEVER* one size fits all. But I understand the jist of your point: You should be able to afford the best (at least right) tire for the right conditions, assuming that the S02s were the best fit for given condition.
Anyway, I hope you wouldn't crucify me for driving my S on Bridgestone Blizzaks in Eastern Pennsylvania during the winter?
Also, i'm pretty surprised that there would be specific S02's for the s2k. Could you verify this? This would be very misleading on part of a tire manufacturer to call 2 different models of tires by the same model-name.

Honda has no such system, people just seem to enjoy dogmatically repeating certain things (such as S02 or bust) on this board.

i wrecked my car due to bald tires at about 70, slammed into a metal and wooden fence. car stopped with the front bumper touching a telephone pole. since then i've ran nothing but new tires, all of the time. it sucks that guy, lives locally to me, and i've seen him driving around a few times, but never met him.
