E tyres still list the front as being available.


I assume the rear should be a 245/40/17? As E tyres list a 245/45/17 as an MZ tyre

yes; fronts are 45. It's these stupid errors that can drive you under.

I dont buy into this at all now, It seems the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing...

Dear Matt,

Thank you for your enquiry regarding tyres for your Honda S2000.

It is possible that we may replace the current spec of RE050 at some point in the future, however, for now, the RE050 MZ is the current fitment for your car, and is available.

If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,

Ian Holland

Good afternoon,

After speaking to some tyre suppliers today. I have been informed that you are discontinuing the E050MZ 215/45/R17 87W and E050MZ 245/40/R17 91W. Both these tyres are standard fit for the Honda S2000. I was wondering if this is in fact the case and if so what tyres you recommend to replace these.

Many thanks

Matt

I have just been told it all depends on who you speak to in Bridgestone surely they look it up on the stock system and say yes sir they will be with you tomorrow ??
I did not speak to sales, You would think someone in technical services know whether it is production or not, You would expect them to get it right?
