Wife: "Honey I just saved us $400!!!!"

Husband: "How'd you do that?"

Wife: "I got this $3000 sofa for only $2600!"

Husband:

Heh heh I enlist CO's....I mean Moderators.

I need new rears as well. They got a little flattened and slick on track yesterday. This time I get something decent, and not the undersized crap they had on the car when they sold it to me.

I just put a full set of these Hankooks on this spring, to date I'm very pleased with their performance, and considering all 4 of them shipped to my door for $389 USD I could not be happier.

I have a set of these on my car and I have to say that I am disappointed. I lost the razor sharp steering that I loved so much about the car. To me now the car feels like an average car with turn in delay where as before it was on a whole different level. But they are cheap, so for someone on a budget they are a good choice. I am thinking of selling them if someone is interested. I need something with a stiffer sidewall.

Not all tires are created equal and there are few if any tires for the S2000 which are better than the stock ones (on a stock car). They designed the car around a particular tire and have tuned it to work well with it. The chances you will find a tire just as good or better is slim to nil at any price.

Good point, I wasn't looking at the S02s
Not sure they're what I want based on the wear
