Default Tires - OEM or ?

I desperately need to buy new tires for my car. Should I stick with the Bridgestone S-02s or do you S2000 connaiseurs recommend another brand/model? Thank you.

I would go with either S02's or S03's if you are also concerned about wet weather performance. There are many other cheaper alternatives but usually inferior in performance.

Yes, I am concerned about slippery conditions. Right now my rear tires are very bald and when I hit a puddle, my whole rear end shimmies left or right.

I agree with the S03 choice. Also I am taking a look at the Toyo T1S. I have been told they also have great wet weather handling. I would check out prices on Tire Rack.com.

Some other websites I have been told to try are:

Good luck!

I went w/S03's, best decision i ever made. They handle great in the wet weather, and we all know it's coming SOON!

for SO3s. Jim @ TireRack services the S2000 folks. If you go this route, make sure you get the 245/45 rears. This is the closest equivalent size wize to the stock S02 225
