If you are looking for the best tire for handling you should stay with the S02 that came on the car. If you are looking for a better deal on a Z speed rated tire you can look at the Kunho tires. You can see what the other S2K owners have said about various other tires.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you

I agree. However, if you are using the car to commute majority of the time (in my case 90% of the time), I think Khumos are more than sufficient. I definitely would not recommend this tire if drive hard at a regular basis.

I need to get a job that gives me more time to enjoy my car

I had Kumho 712's on my Integra GSR, and I would describe them as adequate for aggressive street driving, but not for track use. Wet traction was very good. If you're willing to sacrifice a little on dry traction (eg. commuting), they're a much better value than S02's.

I'm going to bite the bullet and get RE730's soon, and I'll post a comparison when I do.
