Alright, who's running what for tires out there? I'm currently running BF-Goodrich KD/W-2s, which have been doing pretty well with only moderate wheelspin in the wet. Unfortunately, the rears are shot after about 10K miles, and I'm looking into some new rears. Has anyone tried running 255's on the 04+ model S2000? Also, who is buying tires where? I'm trying to spend less than $300 on 2 tires if at all possible... Thanks in advance for the help!

 

Try Wheel and tire forum.

But FWIW, Tires are subjective for the most part. Largely dependent on what you are doing with your car.

If you need DD tires, just about any tire will do. If you are pushing the car to the limits, then you should stick with the higher end and more sticker tires. Higher end means more $$.

Tires are the only thing that connects your car to the road. IMHO...don't skimp on tires.

OEM RE050's, SO2's, SO3 are proven performance wise.

Check your local tire shops that will compete with internet pricing and see if you can get a deal there. If not, online tires are fairly reasonable but you will have to pay to mount and balance them afterwards.
