I needed new rear tires and my dealer said he'd replace them. But instead of getting S-02's like I had before, he put on a pair of S-03's. Size = 225/50/16. The front tires are still S-02's. So now I've got S-02's in the front and S-03's in the rear. Dealer says he talked to Bridgestone and they said it's no problem to do this, have different tires front vs. rear, as long as they're all Potenza's.

What do you guys think?

I think he had a couple of spare tires in the store room he wanted to get rid of. He gave you the wrong size to boot. Go back and bitch about it and demand the SO2's.

You want the OEM S-02's for the S2000. S-03's in 225/50/16 are not going to provide nearly the same level of traction/performance.

I too would return to the dealer and demand OEM W Rated SO2's.

You got punked.

You should get those replaced with S02s and post the name of the dealership that is trying to pull this crap.

I drove the tires home (about 10 miles round trip) before returning to the dealer. He says he can't take them back. Not my fault that he ordered the wrong tires, but I probably should have raised a stink before leaving the dealership.

Also, 225/50/16 are the wrong size for the rear tire for non OEM S02 tires. You want 245/45/16 tire sizes. The OEM s02 rear tire is wider than "regular" 225/50/16 tires, and to maintain the same tread width, you need the 245/45/16 tires.
