WOW!

So i went to goodyear yesterday and slapped on some eagle f1's on the feet. NIGHT AND DAY! they are expensive but wow they are worth every penny. They cost $1200 for all four but wow i am amazed at the performance i get out of them. I usually shred my tired from first to second but i dont even get a slip out of these. Anybody have this success with a cheaper tire?

I have some Dunlops that were REALLY sticky, but I wore through them REALLY fast. Congrats on the new tires. I always love the feel of new rubber.

I know for a FACT that the last year of production of the S2000 is 2003!!!!!
After that, it will be the S2200 under an assumed name.

You should check with Tire Rack before you buy tires. They specialize in performance tires and they have really good prices. Goodyear F1-DS3's are $132 (front) and $185 (rear) or a little over $600 for all 4 corners (all-seasons are $130 (front) and $173 (rear)). The tire of choice lately seems to be Bridgestone RE-01Rs which have a higher wear rating than stock and seem to provide better grip than anything else.

The Eagle F1 are great in the wet - I had them on a previous car.
