Default Tire Fitment

I am looking at tires and have a couple of questions. One tire I am looking at are Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 in 225/45 17 and 255/40 17 (front/rear) and wanted to know if these will fit an S2000 with no mods to the suspension and the stock wheels on a 2004.

Also wanted to know how they would compare to the Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R and the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec in the same size.

Thanks

those sizes will fit fine...as for comparison, the PS2's have great grip but slightly less dry grip than the Potenza and Dunlop (IMO) but they do have a better ride quality and wet grip than those 2 tires.

AP2 is on the money on the tires. The PS2 is one of the best all around handling tires. The Star Spec is a track tire for the street.
If I can help let me know.

Thanks for the info. After reading several threads on this site I ended up going with an A/S tire and may end up buying some wheels and getting the star specs or ps2 on those. Ended up buying Pilot Sport AS plus.
