We are talking the proper ES02JZ S2000 tyres and not the regular S02s that were phased out years ago?

That's right Dembo, I spoke directly to Bridgestone HQ in Dublin and they are "discontinuing the ES02 JZ for the Honda S2000" was what I was told, but it just looks like they're not going to stock it in Ireland (as opposed to it being phased out by Bridgetsone), as they're obviously available in the UK. So now I'm waiting for eiretyres.net to get back to me on the availability of the ES02.

Thanks Rob,

Did you get the 17" wheels then? I've been toying with getting the 17's. Did you buy them from Honda (I use JPM in Mahon Point). I'll give Dessie's a shout, a friend of mine knows them.

I did get a good price on the S02 rears from R&R tyres in Ballincollig,

killian,

have the wheels but waiting on the tyres.i think the car looks nothing on the 16,dont like the shape.
the multi spokes make the car imo.

will keep the 16" for trackdays.

handling is suspect at the mo,need a full alignment,have lubed all the bolts pre alignment and hoping i dont have any siezed bolts/bushs.

rob
