OEM tire info

gomarlins3 · 10-30-2008, 06:44 PM

From Venza31:

To be absolutely positive that you have the correct tires, make sure the load rating and tire diameter are as close to OEM as possible. Here's the OEM specs:

205/55ZR16
Load Index 89 = 1279lbs (580kg) per tire
Speed Rating “W” = 168mph (270kph) 89W SL Treadwear: 140
Traction: A
Temperature: A140 A A
1279 lbs. 44 psi 10/32" 24 lbs. 5.5-7.5" 6.5" 8.1" 7.1" 25" diam 833 RPM

225/50ZR16
Load Index 92 = 1389lbs (630kg) per tire
Speed Rating “W” = 168mph (270kph) 92W SL Treadwear: 140
Traction: A
Temperature: A140 A A
1389 lbs. 44 psi 10/32" 26 lbs. 6-8" 7" 9.2" 8.5" 24.8" diam 840 RPM

There were a bunch of headers for all the columns that wouldn't line up from the table I copied, so I deleted them, but I think you can understand the ones necessary. I got the info from the Tirerack.com.

Vezna31 · 10-30-2008, 07:23 PM

This pdf will make it easier to understand the specs for AP1's.

***REMEMBER THAT NON-OEM TIRES WILL REQUIRE 225/50 IN THE FRONT AND 245/45 IN THE REAR***

Vezna31 · 10-30-2008, 07:48 PM

AP2 specs

***ANYONE WITH NON-OEM TIRE SIZES FOR AP2, PLEASE PM ME SO I CAN POST. THANKS.***

gomarlins3 · 10-30-2008, 08:01 PM

Thanks for the added info.

TheSoundMan21 · 10-30-2008, 10:20 PM

Quick question in support of this thread. I have an AP1 would it benifit (sp?) me to put something like 225s on the front and 245s on the back? on stock rims? I know it might sound stupid but thats why im asking before doin it.

If you are going with tires other than OEM S02's, yes.

I just recently purchased a 2006 S2000 with 12,500 miles on it. It has Bridgestones on it and my tire guy says I have at least 5000 to 7000 miles left on the rears. Does anyone know if the 2006s came with Bridgestones?

Dr. Jimbo · 11-09-2009, 04:20 PM

Running 4 donut spares REALLY cuts back on the wieght, but the handling suffers.

Jim21680 · 11-09-2009, 04:28 PM

Yep...Bridgestone RE050s I think. The tire guy is right...you should get somewhere around 20,000 miles from those tires. They're very good tires, but I'd look elsewhere for replacements. The 050s are expensive!

Are you sure the rear tires are supposed to get 20k miles?? It is surely not the case with AP1's. AP1's are estimated at 8-12k miles on the rear and double for the front. It will also highly depend on driving style as well.

wgrandmont · 11-18-2009, 08:32 AM

I have an 07 AP2, the owners manual says 10k miles for the bridgestones. That was true for my front tires, the backs I don't know a nail through the sidewall at 5k took care of that. You probably could get 20 if you were careful.

I just put new Kumo's on the front of my car and noticed a couple of days after they were on that the tires the dealer installed were not the same as I had on the back and only had an "H" speed rating. They gave me a argument about it, and said I would never need to go over 130 miles per hour. I told them if there was ever an accident caused by a tire failure no matter the speed and the car had the wrong tires on it they would get sued. They changed them for me. Was wrong to make an issue?

I purchase my 07 brand new. It comes with bridgestones.

wgrandmont · 11-18-2009, 09:02 AM

I replaced my Bridgestones with Kumo ASX 215 x 45 x 17 fronts & 245 x 40 x 17 rears. Same size, load rating and speed rating as the OEMs. Wear rating is much higher and price is a little over 1/2 the bridgestones. So far I like them. They ride better, are quiter, and on a skid pad hold slightly better (my personal test). I have also heard very good reports on the Dunlop dirizza (sp) tires.
