Tyres

[Problem Child]

You won't regret it. The S2000 is even more critical in terms of fitted tyre. Good to know they work there also.

In the early years I had Bridgestones, S-01, S-03 and the last one I had was the RE050A. It's a stiff and heavy tyre with excellent performance. They also set the record in longlivity (I wonder how I've reached that), contrary to my expectations. But they are beast to mount on the rim. I prefer a medium-soft sidewall now. It doesn't make sense to have one of the lightest rims on the car and fitting an extra heavy tyre like a Bridgestone if there are equivalent and lighter substitutes. That's why I won't go back to Bridgestone again.

Looking to change my tyres (215/40/17s on the front and 255/35/18s on the rear) I'm looking at the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Anyone got these, and what do they think?

Both fantasic high performance tyres.

The 4S is far superior by all accounts, particularly in the wet, perfect for the wettest of pancake trips.

Just noticed they only do the 4s in 19s and 20s so no good for us!

we're not exactly spoilt for choice finding matching 17/18 sizes....

its a case of seeing what is available first rather than picking a tyre and presuming its made in the sizes you want!!! there was a thread on prime re. options for 17/18 combo

I've got PS4 all-round on the Civic, which I know is a rather different car. But they feel a small step up from ContiSport 4's - grip a little more, feedback at least as good, good progression, very good in the wet.

Good morning !, what do you think about the tires Yokohama Advan Sport V105 ? I am going to install the original NSX-02 wheels in my car, and I do not know if the flanks are strong enough, I do not find many opinions.

I usually use AD08R, I am very happy ,but they last me very little on the rear wheels. I have the full conversion NSX-02R , suspension, rear swaybar, front sway bar but of the first type R that is somewhat thinner than the 22 mm from 2002 and to drive is much better , Front reinforcement bar,and I have eliminated the lower front bar one and the car is much better(as recommended Kaz ), before it was too rigid in front, and 02R engine reinforcement bar,with all the aerodynamics and less weight.

I also use the alignment the last Type-S and I am happy , the setting NSX-02R It is very aggressive for me.


Well, just know if this tires Yoko Sport V105 is a good option, it's cheaper, but I do not know if it will be a good option for my car

Thanks

Wow Nuno, you have invested a lot of time, money and research into your great car in this area.

If it were me I would just buy a pair or even set of those and try them over the next few months to decide for yourself as I'm sure you know what you're hoping for.

If not happy you can always sell them on as used on places like eBay.

Good luck anyway and I will be interested to know what you do.

Can you not fit 225/40/17 on the front???

Hi Pride,
I prefer install 215-40-17 , many people don´t like it, but I have no problem using different models even if they are from the same brand.

I'm not going to do circuit times or anything like that, I've done it more times and nothing happens, it's always better to have the same model, but is not a problem for me
