Dont know about "Takashi" realthing!!! I must be missing something!! What the??

I have bitten the bullet and have my car booked in on Saturday for her new set of shoes. I only needed the rears at this stage so on your advice I am going with the OEM SO2's and a $660 hole in my pocket.

The SO2's I have at the moment would make a great set of slicks but I am having trouble in the wet at the moment trying to get off the line.

I will be giving another set of tyres a go next time but for this stage I think I am best to keep the matched set and go for a full set next time.

Not sure which way I will go but both the Azenis and the 540's sound quite good.

I will have to do a bit more shredding over the next 6 months or so and let you know then!!

Thanks heaps for your suggestions!!!

Whatever you do don't get 540S for the road. The ride and noise are shocking. It sounds like there's a 747 taking off next to you (I stole this comment but it's apt) at anything over about 60km/h and even cats eyes will send a huge thump through the car. You will also get terrible life out of them. They are a no compromise track tyre.

How would a price of $309 for front and $316 for rear compare with
other prices being quoted for O.E for an S2000??

Shine, $309 & $316 sound pretty good. However, I suggest you drop out of this thread and do a "search". There is a much more recent thread where current tyre costs have been discussed in some detail. It also covers the discount available to NSW HSCC members.
