Ever since that, got some KO2s and can drive confidently in snow all day long.
Owner reviews for tires
The Falken Wildpeak A/T trails that I got late this spring have been great since. They're quiet and surprisingly efficient on the road, while delivering noticeably better grip on loose dirt, mud, and sand.
I decided to do a shotgun approach to find the solution so I upgraded the dog bone and pendulum mount, eibach sport springs, apr rear sway, 18x9 oz wheels with 235 45 18 re-71’s, I don’t think those tires last very long but wow they’re awesome for now. I can make the tires spin if I want but I can actually launch my car and ease my way through first pretty good and then 2nd on is no traction problems to speak of.
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’ve put these tires on now two different midsize cars, and have been thrilled.
Westlake SW608s. The best!
I’ve run all three brands on my GTI and I drive my car hard Was using Bridgestone RE01 tires on the track last
I have been using Barum tires with no complaints. They perform well on my 2012 W204 and cost a lot less than Michelin / Pirelli / Continental /etc
I worked at Goodyear for 3 years and you are partially correct. Their quality isn't bad across the board, it is just not consistent. Some are great and last way longer than they should while others are just junk. I had 2 Ultra Grip Winters blow out on me a few hours apart (2 days after they were mounted).
I have those on my Mustang right now and they have no where near the performance of the outgoing P Zeros.
