Default new s2k member | tire question/opinion

wsup guys. im a new H-T'er with a '01 Silverstone S2000. here's a peek of my baby, Sylvia.


i need to change her tires though. would you recommend one of these tires below, or some other tires?

1) Toyo T1R
2) Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S
3) Michellin Pilot Sport A/S


i've read reviews on these tires above from other people driving different cars, but i wanted to know what my fellow s2k owners have to say. also, what tires do you use and how do you rate it? [performance, treadlife, usage in snow?? etc]

thanks guys

I have the Pilot Sport A/S's, I couldn't be happier with them. Great traction, nice and sticky, and goes well in all weather conditions.

Only thing not pretty is the price tag, but hey, you gotta pay to play

Default Re: (.no tork.)

I would look into Hankook RS2's
I was reading and searching all over the s2ki forum and it seems to be
the best bang for the buck with awesome performance. they say the rs2's are not as sticky as the so2's but are very comparable but better wet traction and last longer.

205/55/16's up front and 245/45/16's in the rear.
best price ive seen is at edgeracing.com
puts it right about $380ish after shipping.
