You seem to know a lot more about this subject than I do, but that doesn't make sense to me.... you're saying that the S-02's that come with the car are wider than S-02's that they manufacture for every other car? How can you tell the difference if it's an OEM S-02 and a regular S-02?
The OE is called a Bridgestone S-02

The after market is called a Bridgestone S-02 Pole position which is discontinued.

The OE Bridegstone S-02 is used on a few other vehicles as well.

No one really knows why they labeled it as a 225 when the contact patch is only a fraction of an inch less than that of a 245.

Exactly. The SO2's that are OEM for the S2000 were made for the S2000 specifically. So just any SO2 will not do.

Like I said, just contact a tire place that knows and they'll be able to get you what you need.
Wow, I had no idea. That explains why Honda wants an arm and a leg for them (not planning on buying from Honda, just wanted to get an idea). Thanks for all the info, I really appreciate it.

Yes he does. Apparently they're still not as good as the SO2's (according to him) but they're pretty cheap.
RS2's are an excellent replacement to the S02s for the street.
I bought my set for $550....almost half the cost of OEM S02's


On that note..
I have a new set of OEM S02s mounted on Mint 16' OEM rims sitting in my basement.
No you cant have them...theyre mine
