I recommend, in this order:

Kumho V500

Toyo R888

Perfect in all weathers.

driven on both and the asymettrical are far the best, so much more wet grip in them

Hankook RS2's. T1R price R888 performance but you can use them in the wet.

Also you can mix tyres just not on the same axle

Rob have been looking at these. Do they really give R888 levels of grip in the dry? How did you find the sidewall stiffness?

I absolutely detest Bridgestone RE50's in the wet. Not a massive fan in the dry either.

I absolutely agree, although a lack of availability of F1 Asyms coinciding with a pressing need for legal rubber means I haven't been able to make the change yet, but I will at the very earliest opportunity!

It seems to be another S2000 myth perpetuated on this site that you WILL die at the first corner you take if you use anything but OEM rubber, but I hate Bridgestone rubber - I remember it being rubbish on my Impreza and it's rubbish on my S.

Phew, I feel better for that.
