BFG Tires?
I just got them about a week ago. I have put about 500 miles on them. My wife and I cruised up the Oregon coast, on hwy 101, last weekend. It was a nice drive, both twisty and scenic. I am really happy with the BFG tires on the S2000. But, I only can compare them to the toyofz4's that came on the stock wheels. I don't like the fz4, I think it is a lame excuse for a z rated tire.
Oh yeah. We had the top down for the first 60 miles then it started raining cats and dogs. I only hydroplaned one time, on like 3-4 inches of water. I saw the car in front of me disappear in a splash. I knew it was coming. I felt for a summer tire, they preformed very well in the water. I don't like some summer tires in the rain. (nitto 555)


Tire noise?
I have a cold-air intake and the stock exhaust. My engine is louder than the tires. With the top down going slow in 6th, you may hear some tire hum. But I tryto keep the engine over 3500 rpm at all times.


I'll add more in a few more miles...

Alright, thanks for the info! I am not going to need the tires for a little while since I got a new set of tires when I bought the car but I really like the looks of these and since it sounds like they arent too noisy so far, they might be a good option. Also, that would be awesome if you could add more after more miles. Thanks again!

With my new wheels, I cringe every time I hit a pot hole. Well I hit one the other day that I was sure taco'd the rim. It was unharmed completely! I think kazera wheels are well made for inexpensive wheels.
I have driven a few more miles on the BFG tires. I am very happy with level of grip they provide, and surprised on how good they feel in heavy rain. I live in rainy, rainy Oregon.

Is the noise level still low-moderate?

Yes. I think the noise level is low-mid for the BFG. I like how the tires feel on the road. I don't notice the noise.

I am happy with the quality of these inexpensive wheels. Up close they look really nice. (when they are clean) I can feel a small difference in acceleration over the lighter stock wheels. But I knew this would happen. Anyway, I love the way they look with the new center stickers I made.

Thanks for the info and pics, I'm considering these for my S2K as well!

Do you have any pics kind of standing over the wheel well looking down onto the wheels? I'm wondering how far out the spokes stick compared to the rest of the wheel/tire.

Thanks again!
