My A520s lasted a little while (not that long though). They handled really good at first but after a couple track days they were shit. They still had planty of rubber left but it was just hard as a rock. After that they were probably the least predictable tire I'd ever driven on. There was no warning when they'd let loose and there was almost no chance of recovering when they did. Thats a problem S2000s DO NOT need. In my opinion, if you do any type of hard driving, they are a dangerous tire.

Also, jdm_ef8 guy....Sorry man, I wasn't even paying attention. Yokohama doesn't make AVS sports in your size. You could possibly check into some AVS intermediets (sp?) or the Kuhmo MXs I was talking about. I think Falken makes some pretty good tires in that size as well but I'm not sure.
