Tires Toyo or Nexen
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
One tyre brand I highly recommend which is cheap but performs pretty well is NEXEN
I have only used their previous version, Winguard Sports. Can't complain about them. They are a performance winter, so snow and ice won't be as good as a Xice Xi3, blizzak ws-80 or Hakkapeliitta tire
I've only used the original winguard sports. Can't complain for the price and it's purpose. They never let me down in a blizzard...
When I first started autocross, I was on mismatched all seasons with different tires all around. A local autocrosser with old tires took pity on me and gifted me a set of used Toyo Proxes R1R he didn't need any more. Mind. Blown.
Good for the money.. they are indeed 'budget tires'.. Perform decently on dry.. but wet traction is not all that good and I thought they wore fast.. like 30k miles.. rotated them every 5k..
Nexen tires are cheap for a reason. While they may serve you just fine to putt down the highway they are inferior in about every measurable category to most reputable tires, lateral grip, braking, acceleration.
