Had a Koyo on mine, it was perfect and kept the car cool year round in Southern California even in the canyons on 100+ degree days. It also handled track days without a hiccup
Honda S2000 parts reviews
I have a Koyo on my car and have no complains. I do tracks days and have never had any overheating issues.
I bought the Mishimoto one about 20k miles ago and have had zero issues with overheating or leakage.
I got my TYC off RockAuto and been rocking it for 20k miles with no issues
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).
Ended up getting Bridgestone Potenza S-04 (since they were on sale). 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.
I have RS3's on my S2000 and have for a while now. Fantastic dry grip when they're warmed up but then wet grip is abysmal...I actively avoid driving that car in the rain partially because of that.
I can only speak re: the PS2's. Had them on my S2000 for track duty. Unbelievable grip once their hot. Key point here. They're risky as daily drivers, and use caution about driving in the rain - it's like ice. If they're cold (like anytime their not warmed by a few yellow-laps), they are slick. Pardon if I didn't read all of your question, if you want the most adhesive track tire out there, go for it. I did use them as daily drivers, they were fine, but could bite you.
they wanted to put an aftermarket bumper on my S2000. I said no and they said \"sir its the law if their as an available aftermarket refurb part, the insurance company can use it\" I said this is absolutely redicoulous and am disgusted with that notion, and in no way will I entertain anything other than what comes with the car off the assembly line.
