Default Tyre Help

Hi all

Have spent some time searching the forum for answers to my problem, but I'm none the wiser.

I recently had the tyres replaced on my 2003 S2000, they're Bridgestone Potenzas but I have the feeling that they're not the right model. I've noticed a huge difference in both handling as torque (it now feels like i'm driving on a sandy road, compared to the old tyres.

I bought the car from it's original owner and it had done about 50,000k and the old tyres were Dunlops but I don't know the model.

I've contacted the previous owner but nothing back so far, any of you more insightful chaps have any thoughts?

I'm pretty much ready to buy a new set to get the old handling and power back!

The stock tires your referring to are the potenza s-02's. These have excellent grip but do wear down very fast!

As of right now, good alternative tires are dunlop direzza z1 star specs or the bridgestone re11's. I'm sure the guys at the wheels and tires forum can elaborate more.
