Checked the site today and the S007As seem to be available in 18 and 19 inch sizes.
Called up Jim just now to confirm these are just the initial roll-out batch and he stated S2000 sizes will be available at the end of May - thanks Jim!

I am currently looking for two sets of tires, a set for the S2000 ( occasion weekend drives) and a set for 2013 Honda Fit Sport (manual).
For the S2000 (currently using Dunlop Direzza ZII bought from Jim 5 years ago), I am looking for 17" 255/40 rear and 225/45 front.
For the Fit (currently using stock Dunlop SP 7000 185/55), i am looking to upgrade to 16" 205/50.

How does the new S700A compare to the RE-71R as both are Extreme Performance tires?
What are your thoughts on upgrading to 205/50 for the Fit?
These tires maybe an overkill for the Fit but I only use the Fit on Friday to Sunday.

Thank you in advance for your input.

I think if both cars you'll only be driving occasionally, the tires you've listed are overkill. Have you looked into Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s? These are UHP, and about $350-450 for a set, depending on sizes.

Thanks, Manystyles. I'll check out the Firestone.

Overkill always works! Tires rated less that Extreme give us a convenient excuse for our inability to get full performance out of out cars. Can't be us, it's our tires. Everyone knows the guy with the best tires (golf clubs, sails, lawn mower) always has the fast lap times (fewest strokes, best finish, best looking lawn).

Lol, alright i'll compromise. I'm going with 205/50 16" Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 for the Fit and go with the Bridgestone RE71R on the S2000 or maybe wait for the S007A.

What is the difference between the RE71R and S007A?
