Yokohama AVS Sports are the best I have used.

Eagle F1 GS-D3s are a good all year round tyre.

Dunlop SP3000s have very little grip, wet or dry.

the stock 04+ Bridgestone RE050's are pretty good all-rounders.

I fitted some Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s to mine 4 months ago and am well impressed with them

If you're struggling with the tyre sizes, are you sure you've got the correct wheel sizes?

It's a bugger finding ones that correctly fit an S2000.
