Rear tyre advise.
Hey everyone. I'm gonna get a new set of rear tires for my s2k. I'm just looking for some advise on which tyres other owners buy. I obviously want something with as much grip as possible.
Thanks. Dan

Dan,
This is a question that gets asked a lot. Please use the search for this sort of thing. Here's an example of what turned up in a search for "tyres" https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=816091
However, if you look here, under "Event" there are some good options http://www.s2kuk.com/s2kuk/Benefits/Suppliers.php?cat=5

Personally, I'd try and keep my front and read tyres matched.
Maybe keep the rears matched with the front this time and then when all 4 need replacing look around for a different option.
I use the standard bridgestones.

I'm thinking of trying Hankook V12 EVO K110's when I change next. I'm fed-up with lack of wet grip with the Bridgestones. Has anybody got these on and what do you think of them? Half the price of Bridgestones.

Falken fk 452 are great in all areas!
best sport mid-range available in my opinion
had them on a 270bhp 200sx and gave good grip, traction for launches, fairly good tyre life too.

Does the Falken FK 452 have the same side wall stiffness because I'm looking to get a rear tyre with a softer side wall than the Bridgestone like the Hankook?

Just put a new full set of the Falken FK 452 on my S. Had a real chance to play with them today and I am impressed so far. I will need to put some serious miles on before making a final judgement, but so far they feel very good.
