s2000nyc77

Simple question here. Coming close to the end of a 48 month lease on a 2003 S2000 and finally have to replace the back tires (after a nice blow out tonight). My lease is up in April to Honda Financial and I really dont want to purchase new tires to get through the next 4 months...especially since I have only put on 20K miles in 3 1/2 yrs.

I have seen Bridgestone Potenza S-02 225/50R16/92V tires for cheap online...but not the 92ws that are stock on my car. Is it safe to put a 92V on the S2000 instead of the 92W if i just plan on doing basic driving (not racing) for the next few months? Assuming its yes...but just wanted to make sure b4 i go ahead and purchase.

Any feedback is appreciated!!

Thanks!

The yokohama es100? I think thats it, seem to be the cheap tire of choice.

Its not that much of a difference...from what I was taught, speed ratings are the maximum speed a tire can hold for 10 miles....as for V and W I dont think you'd be driving your car at those speeds for long durations, so you'll be fine, I've seen people put H rated tire on their S and just drive it around leisurlely before they turned it back in.
