Have you tracked or x-crossed the car? All I can say is; mine is balanced, it just can't take the heat the extra power generates during racing. It's easy to load the front by braking into the turn. The car does not oversteer with the current set up.

Umm, yes.... a lot. You're welcome to set your car up however you like. Just don't spread incorrect information. It can get someone in trouble. The miata and S2K have different suspensions, therefore comparing the relative tire widths between the 2 is like comparing apples and the price of tea in China.

to summarize

225 front and 245 rear would be ok for a 310 WHP Sc'ed S2000

I have front and rear Strut bar and a X brace soon


Thanks

I think the S2000 front upper cross bar is actually a shock tower bar as we don't have the "strut" in our front suspension.

I would strongly suggest going to a stiffer front sway bar. With the extra power, the rear wheels will need more grip, but you're going in the opposite direction. At least buy yourself some leeway with a stiff swaybar.

Also consider 225/255 if they will fit. Swaybar is a good idea if you go 225/245.
