This is my web page on progressing a bone stock S2000 slowly to a race car, including my suggested order of mods:

The only popular R Comp tires I could find which fit the OEM wheels are the NT01's. However, if non staggered, you have access to pretty much all the popular R Comp makes/models. So, to run R Comps, you really need to be running non-staggered.
Has anyone run r-comps with the stagerred setup? If so, what make/model tire???
Another area of conflict is the use of R Comps to drive to/from the track (60-120 miles). Many on this forum say it's a no-no due to heat cycling; what type of heat do the tires see when just highway cruising at 70mph??? I have seen and talked with guys who drove their R Comps over 50 miles to the track. Not saying they're right, but this first-hand observation flies in the face of what this forum consensus is.
I do this all the time. its fine with RA1s and NT01s. Not Hoosiers.

hmmm - what size RA1's do you use? I was unable to find anything fitting both front and rear AP2 wheels.
The only reasonably close sizes are 255/40/17 and 235/40/17...and the 235's require min rim width of 8".
Seroiusly, how can you do it with stock wheels? Or are you staggered?
