Summer is coming, I would get a set of S02's (OEM Tire) as they are the best for the car. But there is a good number of tires. I don;t know what fits the OEM rim these days as I use those rims for the track.

KDW is a good long waring tire, I just don't know it the they have a fitment for the 16" OEM rim.

$176 for rear oem tire, is it worth it? or would it be the same if I purchase another brand at NTB or another place?

Nothing sticks like them for our cars short of race rubber. You have a 30K sports car, don't you want to drive it as it was designed?

The OEM bridgestones are nice tires. Actually, they are incredible tires. But they are also pricey.

The Goodyear F1 GS-D3 are also pretty nice (you can order them from Tirerack etc). A good friend just bought a set of the F1's for his E36 M3 and have found them to have excellent grip, and decent ride noise.

Of course, a little cheaper and you could go Kumho MX. Not long lasting, but high performance and half the price of the former tires mentioned.
