I know they are both good tires. But RE50 is more expensive than S0-3. I am curious if it is really that good.

BTW I think I saw that at tirerack.com, RE50 has run flat capability. Is it true? Do people have to pay extra for this feature?

Feel free to opine.

 

Some of the RE050 do come run flat but not for the S2K. The advantage of the S03 is the wet traction. With the dual layered rubber compound you will not loose wet weather grip over the life of the tire. That is a very big plus for the S2000 which seems to hydroplane easily as the tires wear down.
Both tires do handle great i wet and dry but over the life of the tire the S03 will be better.
If I can help let me know.

Correct me if I am wrong. Enzo and our 2004 S2000 both use RE50 as their OEM tires.

I just want to say "wow"!

What an honor!

 

I bought a set of RE050A's from Jim about a thousand miles ago, 225/45/17's and 255/40/17's. They're replacing a set of Kumho MX's. Once fully up to temperature, dry grip is really good, significantly better IMO than the MX's. So far, they've also proven to be very quiet, again much better than the MX's. Unfortunately I can't offer a comparison to SO3's, as I've never tried them. But, many on this site have said that SO3's and MX's are about equal in terms of dry grip, so you can draw your own conclusions.
