OEM Tires and Work wheels

sooner71085 · 07-06-2004, 02:50 PM

Ok, so its time for me to replace my tires and I can't wait any longer. However, I'm somewhat confused about the OEM tires. I have heard from several other S2 owners that the cross section of the OEM rear tires is not that of a standard 225/50/16 tire. I called 3 Honda dealers in my area and none of them new what the hell I was talking about. So if I go buy the Potenza S-02's from the the tire shop will it be the same tire? If not, where can I get the OEM tires because no Honda dealer in my area deals with tires. Also I was also wondering if anyone knew a good place to get some Work Meister S2R wheels. Thanks for lookin!!! Help me out please!!

If you get any a tire other than the S-02 you will need to get 245-45-16. I have the Work Meister 18' wheels you were speaking of, I got mine from

I got my S2R's from Final Stage Auto in Florida. The sales rep that I dealt with; Sam, gave me the best buying experience I could've asked for. Every time I called, he was always there to give me updates on my order. And the price was the lowest. And believe me, I really shopped around. They are highly recommended by me!

www.tirerack.com sells the OEM SO2s in the correct width. That is, they're labeled 225 but they're really closer to a 245 cross section. Hope that helps.
