Hi there, have an '01 S2 which i've recently sold to my dad in Virginia... and she needs new tires (well pretty much just on the rear LOL).

Need some recommendations on brands/models/sizes... I know people say there's a certain Bridgestone Potenza that was designed for the S2 in particular... does anyone know the model #? Right now the tires on the car are the recommended sizes that the owner's manual wants you to use.

Since the car will be used in a state where there is some snow and ice (although she won't be driven much during winter of course) my Dad would need something with decent wet-weather traction. He's hardly the speedster I am so pricey, great dry-traction tires won't be necessary. LOL

Thanks guys!!!

 

If the car is going to be driven at all in the winter you do need to change all four tires. I would suggest going to the Bridgestone RE960 in the 205/55R16 and 225/50R16. I would not go with the OE tires on the front and an all season tire on the rear.
If I can help let me know.

 

Thanks a bunch! I sent him the tirerack link to look at his options. = )
