Default $$ RS2's and S02's

does anyone know a estimated price per tire for these? i need new rears and my tires are very bad. planning on getting new tires tomm. i have the stock ap1's.

im on a budget and the S is my DD. my budget is $300 for just the rear. if lower prices it would be better.

lmk.

the S02's are more expensive than the RS2s. Ive seen a set of RS2 rears in 245/45s for like $200 and the S02s are going to be towards the $300 side. Since your budget is $300 I would opt for the S02s, better tire overall.

Take a look at the Bridgestone RE-01R would be 122.00 each and they are as good as your going to get for performance.
If I can help let me know.

On tire-rack it shows the re-01r's as 168/piece? Is 122 a special?

RE050A Pole Positions would be a great tire for you at $120/ea.

Hankook RS2's are also great tires for a little less coin, I have a set on my s2k.

The OEM S02's and the RE01R's are likely to be a big compromise in inundated conditions (less hydroplaning resistance).
