^ Yep, I'm running Dunlop Sport tires on the rear. I like them, but didn't really investigate that many before I bought them.

I'm told they're supposed to last longer. How many miles have you put on yours? I told them I wanted to drive in the snow if I had to without sliding all over the place so an all-season was suggested. This is my first tire change so I don't know what I'm looking for, especially since I just found out what the ride felt like without spacers.

Granny, go to tirerack.com and you can do a great comparison of tires with our S02's right there, they have several different choices of manufacturer and they give you the rating based on wet and dry conditions, etc. It will give you a little knowledge when you go shopping for tires locally.

Thanks KB, I've been over there and this is what Jim suggested. I just wanted to hear from someone who actually had them on their car and how they compared to the original 02s feel-wise and handling wise in real time.

This Dean is here, but I think the referred to Dean was Professor Dean with Leonardo DeVinci as his avatar.
I am lurking until another exciting thread gets my blood running hot.

Good question....

where is dean I wanted to invite him tarpon fishing so we could discuss evolution while catching prehistoric fish.



and you're right it is kind of lacking in hot blood running thread dept around here. I'm starting to feel like the conservatives have won and the liberals have headed for their holes.

Today I got the last of the tree damage from last years hurricanes out of my yard.
Now I have to go fertilize them all so they grow back for this years storms.

$700 bucks worth of dead branch and tree trimming. That a weekend of party in key west.

Not to worry, flts, we're still here. We're just regrouping and waiting for Hillary to win. Then it'll be our turn.

Grandmother,

Send a PM to xviper. He runs his car in the winter and can make a recommendation on tires. I'm not sure I'd drive the S in the winter with all-season tires. I think this car requires hard core snow tires.
