Yes, any honda dealer signed up to the tyre program should be able to supply, we always have a comlplete set in stock .

When re- ordering it normally takes a couple of days for tyres to come in.

Spoke to Elite Performance today - probably the best performance guys around the south - they said they've got the S03's in that i would need, and that Bridgestone have discontinued the S02PP.

Having said that - i got a quote on some S02PP's today as well -

My fronts still have around 6-7mm on at the moment so I haven't thought about that too much. But, when the time comes, I'll probably get S03s also.

Dya reckon we could get a discount on buying more than 4??

The problem with that is shipping and fitting. I got a good price quoted over the phone from Bracknell Tyres on S03s, but they wouldn't ship them up to Shrewsbury.

Best price I can get on S03's around here is

I had Eagles on my last car and they would be my first choice to replace the Bridgestones, however I did a check on the Goodyear site and could not find the correct sizes for the S2000.

Eagle F1 GS-D2

They do them in 205/50 ZR16 and 245/45 ZR16 which seem ideal for the S2000. I'm pretty certain that when I finally track down a spare front rim to complete my second set I'll have them fitted with the Eagle F1s - dual purpose winter and track day tyres (very hard wearing compound so they should last the course pretty well

)

I made the mistake of putting 225 so3pp on the back whilst waiting for the fronts to wear. then decided didnt like the so3s. I have now put the so2s oem on the front and am waiting for the so3pp to wear out. Total cock up and the cars handling like a pig. I didnt know that the so3pp 225 for the rears were actually undersized at the time!
