What are you "yikes"ing over, Florida-boy?

You mentioned the Pilot Super Sport and the Pilot Sport PS2. Which ones are you looking to get? And why did you want 265? 255 is available in the Pilot Sport PS2...
Costco has a limited selection of tires - only 3-4 brands, and only certain models from those brands. And they know nothing about the NSX.
What size are your rims? You mentioned 17" rears. Are they the 16"/17" stock rims used on the '94-01 NSX? If so, as I just posted in another topic here...Okay Ken. I know you know where the tires are all hidden/waiting for me.
Hit me with it.
There are plenty of tires currently available in the sizes you need. Remember, with the stock 16"/17" wheels, you can use 205/45-16 or 215/45-16 in front, and 245/40-17 or 255/40-17 in the rear. Any combination of these sizes will work.
If you want the absolute best traction and grip, get one of these "extreme performance" tires:
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 205/45-16, 255/40-17
Hankook Ventus R-S3 (Version 2) 205/45-16, 245/40-17, 255/40-17
Toyo Proxes R1R 205/45-16, 245/40-17, 255/40-17
Kumho Ecsta XS 215/45-16, 245/40-17, 255/40-17
Falken Azenis RT-615K 215/45-16, 255/40-17
Downsides of those tires is that they are relatively expensive and they wear out relatively fast.
If you want tires that last somewhat longer and cost a bit less, and you're willing to accept a lower level of performance, there are no "maximum performance" tires available in the proper sizes, but two of the best tires in the next performance category down, "ultra high performance" tires, are available:
BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2 205/45-16, 245/40-17, 255/40-17
Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport 205/45-16, 245/40-17, 255/40-17
For the most precise handling feel of any tire, the original factory tire is also still available in the stock sizes:
Bridgestone Potenza RE010 215/45-16, 245/40-17
What size are your rims? You mentioned 17" rears. Are they the 16"/17" stock rims used on the '94-01 NSX? If so, as I just posted in another topic here...
All of these tires are available at the Tire Rack, except for the Falken, which is available at Discount Tire Direct.
I would call ahead, rather than just showing up. Some tire retailers are happy to mount and balance tires purchased elsewhere; others prefer not to. You can call ahead to ask. Typical charges for mounting and balancing tires purchased elsewhere are $15-30 per tire. One of the places that is usually happy to mount and balance tires purchased elsewhere is Walmart.Do you find it an issue to show up at a tire retailer with your own tires asking them to mount and balance them?

I should also mention that some places are a lot more careful and better about not damaging rims, so you may want to be selective about where you take tires to be mounted on NSX rims.
Hi Mike I know it’s a loooong time ago but do you have the reference for the centre caps that DID fit, I have the same problem that one ones I bought that were supposed to fit my 1995 NA1 just dontHere is some support for my argument. Again, I am not 100% sure but I have Acura center caps that don't seems to fit in my wheels so I thought the wheels were different. These from SOS only fit 94-96 which supports what I am saying.
