Default Bridgestone RE050 225/50 R16- Only in runflat?

I'm running stock 16s on my 99 S2k.

Looking on black circles and calling my local tyre place and Bridgestone Potenza in RE050 is now only available in Runflat! I now don't know what to do as I can't seem to get any other reasonable tyres in the size I want and I'm running on near-slicks now and am desperately lost looking at tyres I've never had before. I've looked on the tyre thread and can't een see any of the tyres people are saying they're using in there in my size either.

Can I just ask what a good alternative is? I really don't want toyos as I think they're a bit too soft on the tyre wall.

Are Yoko "Advan Sport V105" any good for example?

Thanks

Dave

You are looking at the wrong tyre. See the forum Favourites for the correct 16" tyres: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/108...t__p__23172378

Or have a look at the Tyre Thread for more detail: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/900...e-tyre-thread/
