Re001s?

[JAP-S2K]

Dunlop SP9000. Good grip and good wear, low noise.

Re001s?

These are great. I have em on my Euro. Dunno the price for AP2 wheel size but I got 225/45/R17 for $222 per corner.

Or alternatively I have Continental Sport Contact 3's on my AP2. Rear was $430 per corner in 245/40/R17.

for the RE001 on AP2 wheels,

the fronts i paid $175 each (215/45/17)
the rears i paid $285 each (245/40/17)

all tyres were bought from Bridgestone Centre

Depends if you intend on doing track work or not. A good daily would be definetly the RE001's but if you intend on going on some spirited runs etc i'm a big fan of RT615's which can be brought for about $300-$350ea for an R17 size.

the tyres i had before i decided to smoke them all up were hankook s1's and honestly they drive better then most things i've tried on mine.. i cant remember how much i paid for them but check them out.. those things hit 200+ in my s2000 and handled great.. had a few close calls but the grip those things have are insane.

You can get the Falken RT615 and Dunlop Z1 Star spec for just over 1k. It's better to invest in some real badass tyres then cheap ones. However both aren't soo great in the wet.

However you can't go past the RE050 for wet weather performance.
