I should have mention that I got a set of Enkei RPF1.
17x8+45
17x9+45

My S2000 is lowered as well.
What tires size should I get? This is my daily driver and I won't track it more than once a year.

!!!! Actually I just asked the question in the Enkei thread. I will be ordering the Hankook V12 for sure now.

How low are you? Do you have your fenders rolled?

just picked up some 18's w/ these on them.. so far they feel a little squirrely, but that may be due to them still being new and not broken in yet.. Other than that, I like them so far..

Many people I know that have this tire say it is squirmy for about 500-1000 miles. Also squirmy when not up to temperature.

Just purchased a set yesterday F: 225/40/18 R: 265/35/18 for my DD. I replaced GY F1 GS-D3's. I needed an affordable alternative and based on tests and reviews thought this was the best bang for your $$.

First thing I noticed is how quiet & forgiving these tires are going over bumps also how much softer they are compared to my old GY.
Second the car feels squirmy maybe I just need to brake them in. as of now I still need to get an alignment (getting it done Sat.) hopefully that fixes thing a bit. I have had RE01R, & S02's in the past (love Bridg)

Hope these tires can meet or beat the GY performance if not I will be very disappointed. I will keep you guys posted.

I would like to bump this old thread. I just got the V12's and noticed the same. Will it go away? It's SUPER squirmy on the highway.

If you read the previous page, it mentions that alot of buyers report squirmy-ness for the first 500-1k miles. They probably just need to be brought up to temp a few times and broken in.

That said, I'd love to hear some reports after the initial break-in and how they do after 5k or so miles.

Mine were squirmy as well. It has been roughly 1k miles and i don't notice it anymore.
