Default Need some tire advice

I did quite a bit of searching and got a lot of useful information, but I'd still like to get as much input before making a decision.

Like any S2000 owner, I am at the point where I need to start thinking about replacing the tires (especially the rears) soon. I like the S02's but they are so friggin expensive that I'm looking for alternatives.

So I was wondering what other tires have you guys been running? I autocross occasionally (mainly because getting a day off at my workplace is harder than getting a chance to nail Britney Spears).

Could you list the Brand, model and tire size that you guys run (other than the OEM S02's) ? Thanks. If you could leave a comment regarding your feedback on the tire itself, that would prove to be very useful also.

Check out this thread in the So cal area, Arnel helps us out a ton and could ship you some. I asked him to help you out.

I have the Kuhmo MX, great tires, the look good and stick well and are not that much, same with the falken Azensis.

I did an extensive write up on the different tires I've tried here. The MX is a new tire, and I cannot comment on it, but there is a Kumho rep locally, Masaki's auto repair.

BTW, since I see you made it to autocross yesterday, can I assume you now have carnal knowledge of Britany? So how do you "measure up" to Justin....

This is going to sound like a dumb question but is 155 per tire a half decent price for the S02's? I've never got these before so I'm unsure of its normal price. (current price at Tirerack)

That's around the price I paid for the rear tires.
