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 think the question you really want to know the answer to is what is the load index on factory 17” tires...my 2018 SE has 17” Continental Procontact TX tires with a load index of 99 (1709lb or 775kg).
I have this wheelset on my Trek Emonda ALR 5. Running tubeless with Continental GP 5000 TL tires.
Although tubeless, I always carry a spare tube, a couple tire levers, CO2, and a patch kit w/ boot. Be prepared.
Sealant works really well on small punctures to point I’ve had a few that I didn’t even realize until after I got home and saw the small bit of sealant plugging up the hole. Only time I had an issue was when I ran over a bunch of broken glass: a small piece got wedged in front tire and prevented sealant from fully plugging the hole. Still, I was able to ride home safely with about 30psi remaining in the tire. Once I got back, I pulled the glass piece and sealant filled the gap. I did top off the sealant inside. No issues since.
Pirelli's quality is second to none as well. Hankooks are also great, used them for tracking a 2007 BMW 335I and those babies were great. I really like Continentals too...the Conact 2 Summer tire was best rubber I ever owned....though not in winter
I’m running Extreme Contact Sports all around. They’re pretty solid.
Continentals are great and I'll probably give them a go next. UHP review was very positive for the Conti Sport Contact 6
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 love my extreme contact sport, I drive aggressive and wild at times and it help keep me planted on the road
I have the EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 from Continental. Treadlife, despite being a 560 tire, seems poor. Traction and cornering have been unreal. But I am not driving fast through corners often, mostly highway miles.
I hate my current set of DWS06, just got new set last week and car has been shaking like a one hour hotel room bed. 1 tire was showing a 40 on road force and could not be balanced. New one came in next day and car still vibrating 70 and above.
