I have never heard of them, therefore I have never driven on them. I can not give you a real world review on them. I can tell you that tires are one of, if not the most important safety item on a vehicle. I am a firm believer that cheaping out on tires is dangerous and stupid. Especially on the s- there are a lot of known tires that do not perform well on these cars. From some of the reviews I read online, I wouldn't baby my s2000 around on them, let alone try and get performance out the them at an autocross or track event. It is your car and you can buy what you want for them, but I would recommend buying a set of tires that have been proven to be reliable tires. What is your budget? With a budget in mind the main tires I can think of would be hankook v12 / continental dw / bfg gforce sport comp 2. These are good daily tires for the spirited driver, and have decent performance at autocross events.

Hey tks for your advice, i agree with you tho, if you never even heard of the brand, its probably not any good. I guess ill just save up some more money to get to the better ones. Btw nice bb s of yours, what tires do you use?

If you want to spend as little as possible on tires that don't suck then look at federal 595

595 isn't great unless you go for the RS-R.

Recommendations: Advan AD08 Neova, Hankook Ventus RS3, Dunlop Direzza Starspec, Bridgestone RE002, Bridgestone RE-11, Toyo R888 (R compound)

I use star specs. I am on my second set of them and can't say enough good things about them.

I understand they're not the best tires money can buy, and of course they aren't as good in the dry as any of the extreme performance tires. What they are is arguably the best set of performance summer tires money can buy for under $400 per set. I mentioned these specifically because he said he's on a low budget and currently looking at set of cheap shitty no name Chinese tires. The federals will be a better and possibly cheaper alternative to the accelera because they are made in japan as opposed to china (better quality control on products). He also mentioned he wanted to track or autocross the tires and these will take the abuse without chunking.

Almost all of the tires you recommended, while excellent tires especially for track use, are nearly triple the price of the federals and way beyond the budget the OP seems to be looking to stay close to. Also the Toyos would be a terrible choice if you only have 1 set of wheels and you daily your car they would heat cycle out very quickly during dd use.

Thanks again guys! What about the hankook v12s? Any good on autox?? All i know is they do great for street, but not sure if they are good for autocross.

Federal 595, sumitomo htrz III, and hankok v12 will all be roughly the same for street/autocross. I say go with whats cheapest for you out of these 3

Out of those 3 I'd definitely go with the V12's!
