Default s2000 s02w on another car ?

just wondering whether anyone has tried putting the s2000 w rated s02s on another car..... and if they did,what car and did the s02 help with the handling ????

was thinkin of gettin the s2000 w rated s02 for my s14 silvia (180rwKW dyno dynamics dynanomter)
tried quite a number of tires on it b4:
-yokohama a028 -> crap in wet, crap grip when only half tread gone
-bridgestone g-grids ->shittest tyre know to man
-yokohame a520 ->noisy, not grippy enough, breaks traction when boost comes on in the dry
-dunlop fm-901 ->no negatives, only breaks traction in wet on boost with the tread nearing the low legal limit, grips great in the dry
-kumho ecsta 712 ->squeals like a pig around corners and was cornering 15kph less than the dunlops and it was doing it tough! car seem to handle like crap on these tires understeering and oversteering

out of all of these i've found the fm-901s to be the best of the lot

The FM901 is only an average performance tire. All the tires you mention are entry level performance. The S02 would be a better traction tire than the ones you mention.
