Cheers chaps

The Lings site is excellent, exploded diagrams, have emailed them.

Guys, is goodyear efficient grip performance a decent tyre for S2k?

rodenal · 17 Apr 2015 at 14:25

Whilst hardly a terrible tyre, there's no good reason to use it over something like eagle F1, sport contact or the likes on an S2k - imo

ChrisD. · 17 Apr 2015 at 14:34

It's a great tyre for a Focus or something like that, just absolutely no on an S2000!

Scottland · 17 Apr 2015 at 15:05

I think he has 16's still, which have limited options. Bridgestones RE002 are the best for 16s I think.

Didn't those goodyear range suffer a scandal a while back about the sidewalls tearing or something along those lines?

Very early ones did. I've used them for years and not had a single problem.

Can't get F1's in my size. What about Conti Premium Contact 5 or Michelin Primacy 3?

Aren't SportContact and RE002 crap in the wet? I know they're probably great round nurburgring but I want grippy tyres.

rodenal · 17 Apr 2015 at 20:22

No sport contact are still good in the wet, though doesn't sound like you can get them anyway if F1's aren't an option

Looks like you can get Hankook evo's which are pretty good and one of the sportmaxx tyres, though I'm never sure on the model designation with them

rodenal · 17 Apr 2015 at 20:37

Best tyre you're going to get (IMO)

better than RE002?

Edit: can get SportContact and SportContact2 for front but only SportContact for rear. Is the 2 better?

rodenal · 17 Apr 2015 at 21:14

Ah sorry, I assumed you meant sport contact 5! I probably wouldn't go down that route then as these are "old" models now

loltim · 17 Apr 2015 at 21:25

Is sport contact better than premium contact 5?

dessimpson · 17 Apr 2015 at 21:42

I've got Sport Contact 5 on my evo. They're a very soft sidewall.
Not sure I'd want to run them on an S2000 as they do wallow a bit.
I only got them as I was stuck at the side of the motorway late on a Saturday afternoon, and my wheel arch liner had almost rubbed through the old tyre.

I'm not saying they're a bad tyre, as I actually quite like them, due to my stupidly hard suspension.

loltim · 17 Apr 2015 at 21:43

I'm just going to get re002.

Clarkey · 17 Apr 2015 at 22:01

A decent call, they are a nice performing tyre with that typical Bridgestone feel to them and at a competitive price.

Love them on my DC2.

RE003 is on the verge of being released too mind.

loltim · 18 Apr 2015 at 21:42

How do you find them in the wet bledd?

When are RE003 being released? Won't we need to wait months for reviews etc? My rears need replacing asap
