I feel pretty confident with the car, especially with 255 RT660's. Car has some pretty insane grip with that setup
Pros: pretty confident, insane grip

Can't comment on loudness as the S2000 is just plain loud, but have run these on the S2000 in both the earlier V12 and later Evo2 variety. pretty happy with them for a street tire, stable in the rain, predictable, and they seem to wear well (S2000's eat rear tires every 10k anyway on proper alignment specs).
Pros: stable in rain, predictable
Cons: none

Ended up getting Bridgestone Potenza S-04 (since they were on sale). Car is now stable.
Pros: car is now stable

Please run proper UHP tires on your S2000 - Toyo, Bridgestone, Michelin, Yokohama all make amazing UHP tires and you can't go wrong with them. I went from my AP1 wheels with Potenza S001 tires to AP2 V1 wheels with Toyo Proxes T1 Sport and both sets offered great grip. No weird or unexpected behavior.
Pros: great grip, no weird behavior

I’m a novice driver that has a total of 3 HPDE days on this set of tires. 2000 S2000, Nankang AR1 255 rear and 225 front. I had it aligned last year, with 1/4” toe in as per specs and most recommendations for the AP1 S2K. As you can see, my front tires have minimal wear compared to the rears. On track the lack of rear grip vs front is quite noticeable. There isn’t any wheel spin out of corners, the rear is just loose and twitchy in mid-high speed corners. I’m wondering if that’s why the rear wear is so much higher.
Pros: minimal front wear
Cons: lack of rear grip, rear is loose and twitchy

I've been running them year-round on my 2009 S2000 since new - on Vancouver Island. Total no go in snow, didn't ever even consider of going on the highway, but backed out onto the driveway once when there was a couple inches of snow so I could move some stuff around in the garage. Only a slight incline, but it was not pretty getting back in. That said, we get lots of rain and they've worked well as long as there aren't serious puddles.
Pros: worked well in rain
Cons: no go in snow

It depends. I have the P Zero on my S2000 and they are good. The Bridgestone Potenza were better but not by much, the Michelin Pilot Sport were worse. On the other hand I have the Cinturato on my Focus Wagon and they suck sweaty balls. They are so bad I just put on some random Nexen M+S tires for winter and the car drivers better. I mean. WTF.
Pros: good on S2000
Cons: suck on Focus Wagon

Mazda 6: Some randoms from the PO to Continental DWS. Huge improvement in road noise, which is good because I spent a while searching for the lowest road noise tires that would fit the odd stock tire size. Big traction improvement too, but that was not a surprise. No handling change otherwise.
S2000: BFG g-Force to Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 - these were cheap and horrible, but lasted forever. The weak sidewall made the car squish all over the place in any maneuver reminiscent of a lane change. Very strange behavior from the steering wheel when the car would re-center itself.
Pros: huge improvement road noise
Cons: weak sidewall

I had Nexen N3000's on the S2000 when I purchased it. While I know they aren't N5000's, they seemed to have an odd reputation on message boards. The 3000's were deemed fairly acceptable for the first half of their tread life, but then horrid at the second half. They went from having a bit of grip to driving on frozen hockey pucks. Mine were already fairly worn on the S2000, and they were SCARY. They were promptly replaced with appropriate rubber for the car.
Pros: acceptable first half of life
Cons: horrid second half, scary grip
