I did a like for like swap. The car came with RE050's from new. The "A" stands for asymetric tread and the original fitment was not asymetric so I did not specify it when fitting new tyres.

S02's were fitted to the 16 in wheels AFAIK not the 17 in.

The Pre-04 cars were S02's the 04 and beyond are RE050MZ's (MZ being the S2000 specific bit).

Had mine done for the first time on this car a few weeks back - managed 25k out of them! Yes, I know and as the Honda dealer once said to me, I don't drive it properly! Up and down motorways is not what it was built for!
