Not sure if I got a dud set of rears or what but 2400miles is silly.
Anyway with the RE050 and 040 on front we are taking about tyres that do not have different strengh side walls correct?
did the +02 ever have different strenght side walls to normal tyres, ie were the NSX tyres specific.

On the second point ref the 02 cars, they had a selection of Bridgestone, Dunlop and I believe one other brand. The only really 'specific' tyre was for the NSX-R that had unique RE070's and are like hens teeth to find.

On the last of the 02 cars (mine at least) they only recommended Dunlops.
