Hi All,

Need to put 4 new boots on the S after two excellent Euro trips which included two trips to the Nurburgring, a trip across the Alps, a drive on the Stelvio pass and a weekend at the Spa Grandprix

All great fun, but the tires are officially shot and need to be replaced.

Black Circles are doing a pretty good deal on the above tires and I wondered what the concensus was?

If you know of a better option or of anyone doing a better deal, then please shout.

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

I have toyo's on mine, good in the wet & dry but have just done a car limits day and needed to put 50 psi to stop sidewall flex--keeping them @ 36 around town.

 

what do u have now?

I found the T1Rs to be too squdigy

 

Never tried the Yokos, but I wouldn't buy Toyos again. They offer good wet grip and a smoother ride, but they noticeably blunt the sharp handling of the 06 S compared to OE Bridgestones. This was really rammed home to me recently when I drove my S on 17", ~3000 mile old Toyos (at least 5mm tread) in the morning, then swapped to well worn (2-3mm tread) OE Bridgestone MZs all round in the afternoon, massive difference in steering feel and response. Toyos are cheaper, but I'd definitely spend the extra and get Bridgestones, may be Goodyear.

 

 

Just fitted some F1 assymetrics on mine, i've ran bridgestones for 50k miles before these.

So far I would say the F1's grip better in the wet by quite a bit but they are slightly softer sidewalls which is annoying.

 

cheers all,

will look into bridgestones.

 

OK, now I have a further problem...

The tires on the S2000 (an O3 plate) are:

Front : 205/55R16 speed rating 89w
Back: 225/50R16 speed rating 92w

But I have seen post stating that the size should be: 245 on the rear!

Can some one clarify before I make the wrong purchase??

Thanks,

 

16" wheels?

Bridgestone Re50a.
£370 from Event Tyres, delivered and fitted.

 

Yep 16 inches is enough for any man

Any help with the rear size?

Thanks
