Default whats wrong with this s2000?

I was test driving one with 17k miles. Around the neighborhood in 2nd gear about 15mph, I let off the gas...the engine makes the strangest noise. Also the back tires looks like slicks. I wonder, are those things normal?

Thanks

Yea, if the car has 17,000 miles on it, it needs new tires.

Su2Ny...why did you go the next step, pay a little more, and buy an M3 instead of the 3.30?

tires usually last for 10,000 to 15,000 miles depending on how you drive.

If you're in the market, PM me. We're selling one that's in great shape. The TSB has been done, and it has the 2nd set of tires on it with plenty of tread left.
