Thanks Kyras. I read that during my search, but never as explicitly as you put it. I'm glad you said it so i don't have to even consider it or even consider it an option.

You're welcome. I wouldn't believe how unstable this car could feel if I hadn't experienced it myself. Just driving in a straight line on the freeway was a challenge with mixed tires. I had an '01 Silverstone then and it was driving to my very first S2000 meet.

DON'T RUN DIFFERENT TIRES!! Either get all four new tires or get RE050s for the rear. These cars are crazy when you mix the tires. I learned the hard way once and I will never, ever mix tires again.

I agree, buy used re050's to last until the fronts wear out, then switch all 4 at the same time (you have a lot of options for new sets, not just Bridgestone)
