Sumitomo/Tire Rack rebate
Wow, I put my order in early Monday and they showed up at my door today at 5pm with just normal ground shipping. That was fast! Went ahead and had NTB install them.
$439 for the tires shipped + $100 installed* - $50 rebate = Pretty damn good!
*lifetime balance and rotate, prolly could have got a better deal but wanted them installed tonight.
I went with 225/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rear (AP2 V1 rims). They do look a little wider but don't appear to be being "pinched" at all. Profile looks about the same as the oem sizes but seems to fill the wheel well out better (I am at stock hight). Looking at the specs online they are less then half an inch larger in circumference, front and rear then oem tires. In this size with this tire the front and rear are the same circumference so I wouldn't think ABS would be effected.
So far they feel good but I'm going to take it easy on them for a few weeks. I'll follow up with my take in a bit. I started with the oem B-Stones then went with Falken FK542s then Kumho ASXs now the HTR Z IIIs so we'll see how they feel.
Yeah, I know, the ASXs were a big mistake. I don't know why I bought those, prolly the drugs I was on at the time but they are off of the car now and I will act like I never put an all season tire on my S2000 if anyone ever asks me!
Anyway, I love the smell of new tire in the car hold!

I just went to tire rack today (only 20 mins away from me) and got rears installed. I like em. Hopefully I get more than 4k miles out of these
Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I was planning on scoring a set of these in the very near future - now I'll make sure I get it done before the promo expires (looks like purchase between April 26th - May 28th on the rebate form).
