I have just replaced my SO2 tires with TOYO TS-1 after having driven 23000KM (14000 miles)on the SO2s.

The initial impression with the TOYO tires was that they were slower to respond to steering changes and that there was an associated rebound which unsettled the cars stability. I think that the problem is the size of the TOYO tread sipes and softer side wall which creates more sponginess in the tire. I hope that thge problem imrpoves as the tires wear. Maybe they will handle better than the SO2 in the wet?

This is a great forum for S2000 owners.

Some have commented on the good grip and tire wear of these tires but more than one also disliked the softer sidewalls. I would think the size makes a difference with the 17, and 18
