Default S2000 Tires

Hey all, I am a new member
after felt in love with S2000, finally purchased one
I am actually currently reside in HK.....
I would like to seek advice regarding what tires you think would suit me best....

I am gonna mostly drive my S2000 during weekend......
I am not a hardcore race guy, so mostly I would just be cruising around, but may want from time to time to spin around a little bit.......
Also, as in HK, it rains a lot during the summer, so defintely would want sth good for rainy days as well......
Thanks for your advice in advance.......

You need to post what size wheels/tires you have before anyone can help.

S2K Dude, it really doesnt matter what size. The question is 'type' of tires.

I would recommend the Goodyear Eagle F1's for what you described.

This tire has amazing grip on both wet and dry. Not a lot of tires offer this. I have them on my car but I wouldnt get them again because I preffer Yokohamas (Due to a few other features that are not related to grip and also becuase I dont like any american parts on my car), but since you mentioned rain then these are the way to go. At first the sidewall is soft and handling is not good but after they are broken in... damn, they are really really good.

Sumitomo's HTR-Z3

do a search in our wheel tire forum and you can also go to tirerack.com and see their review of the tire. i don't know if they ship overseas though.

i am getting a set for my self, it seems like a good replacement for the stock re050 with half the price.

if price is no object
bridgestone re01r
advan

mid range price
Hankook Ventus RS2
bridgestone RE050a

budget price
Sumitomo HTR z3
Falken re615(sucks in rain)

Since you said you are in HK(i used to live in crossway bay)your tires probably will be time out(5 years since mfg date) before run out of tread

Oh and, I like Yokohama's racing tires. But they also make an all-weather tire for our cars.
