No major off road yet but liking my Toyo AT3s
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.
I just replaced my Toyo ATII’s P285/70R17 after 70K+ miles only due to getting a flat that got hot. They came with a 60k mile warranty and were solid for me on and off the road.
I have really enjoyed my Toyo Versado Noir, it's a newer tire and I think it's a grand touring tire or touring if I'm not mistaken, I went 245 45r17 up from stock 235 45 and I like the beefy tires and it added a little bit of width. They're very smooth and quiet. I have never had hydroplaning issues even at 85 in heavy rain. The tires were tracking well. The only downside is traction from the power, I could break them loose with stock power and engine mounts with a dogbone insert. I'm stage 2 now and if I'm not careful I can spin tires at 30 from a roll on dry pavement. Like I said I can drive spiritedly and not have any problems, it's just the torque
Even with these cheap Giti tires I have about 80% less wheel spin in snowy conditions compared to normal \"Street\" mode in same conditions. Turning a corner, the stability is enhanced and feels safer.
Just took it for my first drive on snowy Boston roads. Slushy really, barely an inch. My impression so far is snow mode clearly retards the Tig's throttle and seems to start in 2nd gear, limiting torque. It feels fairly solid and I didn't feel much slip, even on my own unplowed street.
Performance-wise, I've been happy with my Gitis. At 1/32 of wear at 23K miles, the guy at Discount Tire was impressed.
My SE came with the Giti, never heard of them before. So far so good, but it's only the first year I've had them and I'm at 7000 miles. I'll probably replace them before next winter.
I didn't have as much tire noise with the Bridgestones as I do now with my Toyo Proxies ZR4's. These tires can get a bit loud, especially around 40 mph and at 80 mph.
We sold these at the tire center a I worked at. We rarely had a repeat customer get them twice. They always upgraded to the Toyo MT, and that wasn't us being pushy salesmen. We always asked why, and the regular complaints were the loud drone from the tires at freeway speeds and they didn't last for jack under the heavier trucks. 40K miles was on the high side of things.
