Does anyone know whether the 00-03 models are going to be able to get the new RE050 tires for the 16 inch wheel??

 

Don't know why you'd want to...it's generally agreed-upon that the Stock S0-2's are the best as far as absolute grip goes on this car with the 16's.

I ahve to agree with Quick on that. Unless you want to upsize your rims and just get the 17's all together, just stick with the stocks

 

RE050s are not being made in the stock 16" size.

 

If what I read was correct that the RE050 is a variation of the Ferrari Enzo tire then I would consider it an upgrade from the S0-2 .
Some of the posts I have read about the S0-2 have said that it has the absolute grip in the dry but seems to be more questionable when caught in rainy conditions !

yeah, the s02's are pretty crappy in the rain...even when brand new...

 

i'm just curious. are there really no other street tires on the market that have better grip in our size...regardless of cost??

 

Just get a 2004
