Re: tires (20 dc5 03)
225/50/16 in the front and 245/45/16 in the rear.
I'd go with S03's if i had the funds, however i went with falken fk 451s and i am pleased with their performance. i use to have s03's on my dc2 and they are good tires.

Re: (KF_S2000)
I hear the Kumho MX are very good tires for the money and offer about 90% of the dry grip that S02's offer and for almost half the price. For some reason though, the rear OEM Spec S02's are underrated in size and are actually a little wider than normal 225 width tires. If you want to go with a different sized tire, make sure you get a 245 series for the rear.
As for S03 vs. S02, the S03 is much better in the wet, but not quite as good as the S02 in the dry. I don't ever plan on racing when its wet outside, so i'll stick with the S02 .

Thanks! I just got back from streets of willow yesterday and here is a pic of one of my S02's after one of my sessions.
I talked to a few of the guys at the track, and they said the S02 is probably the best street tire for the S2000. Anything better, you are going to want to run a R Compound tire. One thing i noticed with the S02's was that after about 10 laps at the track, they were getting REAL hot and the car was getting hard to handle with a happier tail and more understeer.

Re: (20 dc5 03)
as said on tire rack, a higher performing tire wont last long. Sticky tires wear out faster, that's a fact. There's no such thing as a high performance tire that lasts. With that in mind, you can choose what you can afford, or choose the best. There is a difference b/w cheap tires and expensive tires, they aren't expensive for nothing. You get what you pay for.
