Hey everyone, I am new to the forum just bought an 07 S2000! It is my dream car since I was a kid, now I finaly have one. I have been doing some research about snow tires. I would like to install some blizzaks on the car because where I live it snows alot. I have been on TireRack.com. Unfortunately the only snow tires that show up on my search are the yokohama's iceguards. After reading alot I learned that the Blizzaks are like the best. What can I do to install these tires on my S2000? I have seen people with the blizzaks but on the AP1 version, since my car is AP2 what can I do?
Thank to everyone that takes the time to help me out!!!

 

If it's your dream car then take care of your baby and get a beater car and save your pride and joy for warm weather.

If you cannot then get blizzak tires. Doesn't matter if it's ap1 or 2

 

First I will echo the above statement of getting a beater to drive in the Snow. If that is not possible your best bet is to buy a set of AP1 wheels locally and put Blizzaks on those. That way you will have the AP2 wheels with good summer tires for when it isn't snowing and the beater AP1 wheels with the Blizzaks for the winter.

 

Yep, and ap1 wheels are stupid cheap, and they will perform better in the snow because they are smaller wheels with taller profile and narrower tires to cut through to better traction overall. You might even find a used set with some decent snow tires on them already. But if it were me, I wouldn't drive the S2k in the snow at all, especially if its a car you care about so much.

 

Two resonate the above posts, I concur that there's only two real options:

A) Get a beater car for snow weather
B) Get a set of used ap1 wheels and install blizzaks

 

Buy a winter beater..

for $2000 bucks, it will save the car on wear and tear (cold starts are a bitch), mileage, having to have two pair of rims, depreciation (a lot of people avoid winter driven summer cars, don't think you can hide either, the arms/CV joints will rust and you can see it a mile away.

 

You guys are nuts, S2000 is INSANELY fun in the snow on winter tires

Try something like 205/50-17 front 235/45-17 rears for sizes. Blizzak WS80 looks like an option...

 

Would like to thank everyone that took their time to help me. I have a Volvo S60 T5 2001, I was going to sell it because I didn't want to pay for two car insurances. I think I am going to keep the Volvo to drive it on the snow and keep my beloved Honda sleeping during the snow season ^^
