A front x-brace will give the car a better ride and give you a slight increase in handling. I run the Spoon model but they're all going to do same thing.

I agree Advan Neova is the best street tire out there. That's what I run on my Volk CE28's. I run A048's on the track. I don't recommend the 048's for the street due to the increased wear and the stickness. It can start throwing unwanted crap onto the car.

Neova 225/45 and 255/40.
STB and braces are useless on this car. Don't waste your money,save for coilovers.
How much of a fitment difference would I notice in these over stock re050's? I like the reviews and positive feedback theyve gotten but im a little uneasy changing from the OEM tire size.....

I share the same frustration replacing AP2 stock RE-050.
Lots of great tires (Advan Neova/Goodyear F1/BS RE-01R) out there....none of which seem to to be able to match our stock size.
I'm not willing to make suspension changes over this if the available sizes have a negative effect !!

FYI, the S2000 does not have struts.

I went to 225 and 255 and I noticed the cars steering dead point increased but you can feel a little bit more grip at the limit due to the wider track. I like the OEM feel better.

Where can you find a set of the Advan Neova? Not on Tirerack.com....

EDIT: nevermind, they are Yokohama.

But DANG they are expensive...
What would be the best Bang-For-Buck out of the tires mentioned here?

i was thinkin my Tire of choice would be The Reo1r Potenzas. Unfortunatly.. i cant find the sizes i want.. (225/45, 255/40). Can I put 225/45 re1or's in front and 255/40 Neovas iin the rear?. Or just go 225/45 and 245/40 reo1r all around?

Oh and by the way.. its for the ap2 stock rims.
