if you are using this combo, what tires are you using and what are your opinions on them?

Kumho Victoracers for auto-x. It's a great setup - retains the stock handling balance of the car.

Yokohama ES100, I've been pleased. Wear evened out in rear once I lowered pressure to 30 psi.

Been running this size combo using Kumho MX's for the last 4,000 miles or so. Nice looking tread design, sidewalls not so nice looking, (lettering too big and weird looking scroll design, but I've grown used to it. Ride quality about like OE tires if run at about 36lbs. pressure, (sidewalls seem more flexible than stock). Dry grip is good and predictable at limit. Although I couldn't initially hear much difference compared to original SO2's these front tires are definately getting noisier below 60MPH probably due to typical S2000 slightly uneven tread wear in front, (my only real complaint). Overall, as stated by others here before, a good tire priced right.

Ditto S2k Mayhem. I'll add that they have seemed to come in well after about 4k.

thanks for the input. I definitely need a nice clean sidewall though, do you guys have any pics of how they are not-so-nice?

Try checking the Tire Rack's site, and go to "shop by brand" for Kumho. There are some pictures there, and I think you'll get the idea.

Potenza S-03's
