Tyres

Any suggestions?

If they still do the OEM sizes then RE040 front and RE050 rear.

Like Noel, I have German F1s on the rear and they are soft compared with BS, wished I got them BS RE050 instead. Apparently once the GY wear down, the shoulder block become wider and drives better.

OK, I've been in touch with Yokohama UK and the A022 in left and right handed H1 spec for the NSX are available from Japan and can be ordered. If anyone wants any then let me know as I'm ordering a couple of sets of rears, maybe 3 and some fronts. There won't be any discounts for orders of about 10 sets as it's not enough but the fact that we can get them is good news I think.

225 50 16 ZR H1 ~ £190 inc VAT
205 50 15 ZR H1 ~ £120 inc Vat I think.

RRP on these is £262 for rears and £199 for fronts so it wont go above that I'm sure.

delivery time is 12 weeks and the price is due to fluctuation.

Do they do 215/255 for 02+ models - can't find details on their website?

I could be interested in placing an order as well. I have no experience of them, For road use only. If they are not too extreme (vulnerable in the wet) I could commit.

Kindly keep me posted.

Just to let you know guys I've just received my tyres.

I went for Hankook Ventus V12 Evo in:

215/40/17 (front)

and

255/40/17 (rear)

As recommended!

I'm gonna fit them myself tomorrow night after we close so I'll report back once they've bedded in a bit.

I'll check all the oem sizes but I didn't think Yokohama ever did a tyre for the facelift 17s all round, it was only bridgestone and dunlop OEM I think

Bridestone still list the OE RE050A on their website for the 02 model - Front: 215/40 R17 83Y Rear: 255/40 R17 94W
I'd have these if I had a 02 NSX.

Hi guys.

Just to let you know, I have fitted my Hankook Ventus Evo V12 tyres (215/40/17 front and 255/40/17 rear) and my first impressions are very good!

All 4 tyres are XL, which means they have a stiffer sidewall and thus a higher load rating than a standard tyre and this really works as there is minimal roll in the corners.

It really sharpens up the handling!

So far so good!
