i have had a used 2001 Honda S2K for about 3 months now, and my tires are torn up. Time to get new tires. The stock tires do horrible in the rain. I know absolutely nothing about tires, besides the fact that i need new tires. What kind of tires should i get? Suggestions?

 

i think you'll find that the best choice is to stay with OEM spec S 02's. If you want to go with a different tire remember that the Stook has a specially made set of rear tires (you'll have to buy a 245 series tire in any other brand to get the same contact patch.)

 

hmmm. where can i get the OEM spec S 02's? from the Honda dealer?

 

You can get them there, but unless you negotiate a better price, you'll pay over $200/tire. My advice call TireRack, specifically:

Jim 877-522-8473-364

He'll make sure you get the right tires at a price that averages around $160/tire, plus shipping of around $50, but you'll save sales tax.

Get the tires drop-shipped to a local tire store, after you ask the tire store if that's OK. Or get the tires shipped to a store that TireRack recommends. Have that tire store mount and balance your tires on the correct wheels and off you go.

Good luck.

 

or take this opportunity to put on new wheels and tires together;
thats what i did!
jim at tirerack hooked me up with these (better in the rain than stockers):
