So I was messing around with the S yesterday, swinging the rear out all over and then it hit me. THESE ARE EXPENSIVE TIRES! (off the lot tires 6yr old with 16k on them. A lot of tread left still) The OEM ones which I believe are called S2's right? Didnt the newer ones come out with a better "S" type tire which is now good in rain? ANYWAY, I was thinking of getting SHIT rims for the rear and slapping doo-doo tires on it. THIS WAY, when I wanna play I jack the car up, put the rims and tires on, and go for a few spins. Id buy them at me local flea-market so they'll be cheap. Around 50 a tire. Should I do it...and if anyone here does that...how is it?

BTW does Goodyear make a tire that is comparable to the S2 or even the newer tires? Friend works at Dunlop and can get me discounts...BUT the S2's are BFGoodrich.
Thanks guys

 

Wow.......... where to start.....

First off, the tires are Bridgestone Potenza "S-O2s".


I am setting the countdown clock on the "Lost control, wrecked my car" thread.

*fixed again!

 

I think putting ratty tires on the back is dangerous and rice. You're doing this just so you want to hang the back end out in parking lots? You could do it, but I'd be careful driving around on them. Be sure to post pics if you spin out and hit something.

Goodyear makes an Eagle F1 tire that is good on this car.

IOW and IMO =>
Use good tires / proper wheels on your S2000.

 

the goodyear F1 is very comparable to the S03s that come on the s2k...as for playing around get some Kumho Ecsta 411 and use them only when you want to do some side shows...

 

Walmart just came out with a supetire,the S3,at $55.00,and they are superior to the S2.Try them.

 

Those are the OE tires on the 2003 Toyota Supra.....
