well, i think i've narrowed my choices down to these 2...

s03


a028


these are going to be a 245/40 18"... any experience good and bad with either of these tires...? I've already heard a few complaints on the S03's, but i've used these tires before and loved them...

Are the a028's in the same class as the a046's on the EVO... they seem to have simliar specs between them...

 

this car will not be autocrossed by the way... just spirited back road jaunts...

 

I would go for kuhmo ecsta mx's they have that size in an 18"

 

Roger that comment on the MXs, best bang for the buck from reports of friends using them. But avoid the Ecsta 712s like the plague...

 

If you want understeer and like the car drifting wide on sharp turns get the S03's. I underestimated how good the Advans are.

 

The Advans are the BEST tire for that car in stock sizes. Period. But if you are going bigger, it is a tough call.

 

Wow. Those A028's are $299.00 each for 18inch from Tire Rack's site. Are they that good?. Sheesh.

 

If my memory serves me right, the A028 comes stock on the NSX. I can check back at my shop. I'm a Yokohama race tire dealer. If that is the case, the NSX's burned them down in under 8K miles. They are like race tires.

 

yeah, i kinda figured that out last night... that the a028 was the stock rubber from the NSX...

this is crazy...!
