Has anyone run all-season tires on their S2000? Just want to know which A/S tires you went with and how they perform. I'm considering all-seasons so I can get more mileage out of my tires. Any thoughts or suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
JB

If you are not an aggressive driver and you live in an area that does get some cold and snow the all seasons will work. Take a look at the RE960 AS ad the Goodyear F1 AS.
If I can help let me know.

I have a set of Yoko Advan S4 on a set of wheels for the cooler temps, great tire. Not a bad trade-off to able to drive the car when the stockies shouldn't be out.

Bought from Jim @ TireRack, BTW

what if you are aggressive most of the time but would still like something that would give u decent mileage and handle in the occassional rain or light snow? jim?

Greater mileage is not a good reason to run all-seasons.

The only reason to run all-seasons is because you are likely to have to drive on snow and you don't have/can't afford/don't wanna hassle with dedicated winter tires for the snowy months.

If you want greater mileage than OEM or other max or extreme performance tires, get UHP summer tires.

Running all-seasons if you don't need all-season capability needlessly sacrifices dry and wet performance.

If you need all-season tires, Kumho Ecsta ASX are decent and not much coin at all, and they're just fine for sensible fair-weather driving. They're not your uber-high performance summer tire for canyon carving or dragon taming, by any means, but they served me well through the winter months and even through a few autocrosses before I ordered summer tires. Now I wish I'd gone ahead and ordered race tires instead of summers, because now I have a dozen tires in the garage and four out back on the trailer, and I'm about to buy race tires.

Second the motion. Have had very good success with the ASX for winter months.

Thanks for all the input guys. I'm choosing from one of the following:

1) Kumho Ecsta SPT
2) Kumho ASX
3) BF Goodrich g-Force SPort
4) General Exclaim UHP

I live in California and have a WRX for my trips to Tahoe, so my S2000 won't be driven in the snow. But I do drive the S2000 in the rain. The reason I asked about the All-Seasons was 1) better tread life and 2) tire rotation in the case of the Kumho ASX.

I don't track or race the car, but I do enjoy pushing the car a bit on twisty mountain roads. So I want to know if the Kumho ASX will be good enough. I'm not familiar at all w/ the General Exclaims, but those seem to have good ratings on Tire Rack. Any experience w/ the General tires anyone?

Thanks again.

i've run the RE 960 AS, good tire

I also use ASX's for my S2000's DD wheels as they are cheap to burn up on the interstate going a straight line, and actually does a pretty good job on grip. One time I measured .95g with my GTech Pro in the rain before an autoX event. Oh... this was done on AP2 wheels (225/255's).

I also have the RE960 AS on my CRX and quite happy with them.
