I can't wait for my rear tires to get bald. It gives me an excuse to upgrade.

Two sets in 20K. I run ZRis...but I drive pretty hard some times, and this last set I roasted due to an alignment issue. They only lasted about 6-7K, so be sure you are aligned for maximum life....the S2000 suspension is sensitive.

2 sets of rear S02s and 1 set of front S02s @ 25,000. Switched to Fuzions all around and had the rear geometry set to minimize wear. At 30,000 now and little wear showing. The Fuzions are not as sticky but they suit my driving style, are better in the rain, and are half the price.

I bought my car used with 14,700 and all new tires. I just took the tires off for the winter, and they're shot, so I got about 18,000 miles on the rears. The fronts are fine.
