Bienvenue,

Je pense que les pneus SO-2's sont les plus bons pour l'S2000.

Sorry for the terrible french, but in all honesty, the stock S02's are the best tires for the car. If you are driving in rainy or cold conditions and want some extra security, then S-03's are the better choice, but if you are looking for maximum dry weather road performance than the stock S-02's are it. If you want something way more aggressive than those, go for Yokohama A-032R's, but they are already close to a dedicated track tire and are terrible in the wet.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your advise, the s-03 is comparable to s-02 for performance? or it a mix between performance and wet driving? is the s-02 bad on rain, cause i never experience problems on rain, except that on highway and rain this is difficult to keep the car in one line hehhehehe

S2K-REPENTIGNY,

Whatever tire you choose make sure you have the install done at a reputable shop otherwise you risk having your mags damaged.

The best tire shop by far in the Montreal area is TALON TIRE on Diab street near RMR. They have excellent service and expert advice. They also sell race tires.




Bonne chance !

Pierre
