Tread:
I wish I could afford new tires right now, but I can't.
The ride and handling seem ok, but I'm not familiar enough with what they should be to judge, I suppose. Neither of my S2000s has had stock tires.

Save up some cash for a set of S02's. You will be even more impressed with the car afterward. I'm on my second set of rears, and putting on the second set of fronts tommorow. I don't plan on another tire unless the OEM S02's become unavailable.

Those are scary. The S2000 is very sensitive to tires.

A few things concern me:
1) They are M+S tires, so not optimal for performance driving.
2) The picture shows 225/50-16.

Whoever owned it before you slapped those on knowing he was selling the car. Get rid of them. Tires, IMO, are one of the most (if not the most) sensitive and important component in a car.

Visa's are indeed made by Falken tires, they aernt TOO bad for daily driving but dont expect to get any real performance out of them. I slapped them on my IS300 because of the price and ride comfort, dont really need sticky tires for my IS.
