Default Best Tires

Can someone recommend tires for my S2000?

I need them for regular overall driving. I don't need very high performance tires (I'm a fairly tame driver) and don't want to spend a mint since my lease is up in December.

I would also like a recommendation for a tire shop near Pacific Heights.

Thanks for your help.

personallt if you need to buy tires, you got to spend the $ for a good tire. I ran Bridgestone SO3's on my OEM wheels. Great tire all around. In the canyons the tire becomes a very sticky tire. In the wet its incredible too. Also they are cheaper than the stock SO2's. What I am running currently are Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3's. Cheaper than the Bridgestones, the best in the wet and dry, and have a tread rating of around 270.

What is the "best tire"?

That's an odd question.. since you said you don't need the highest performance tires due to the fact that you will be returning the car.

I'd go with Fuzions. They're cheap, pretty grippy, and it should last a while if you don't drive like a maniac.

I'm at a toss-up between Kuhmo MX's and Goodyear Eagle F1...

Doesn't the F1 get pretty crappy tread wear? That's what I remember hearing..
