I'm currently running with 02+ OEM 17's with the Goodyear F1 tires. As a daily driver these have proved for me to be a very good tire.
However, the NSX is now more of a sunshine special occasion car for me and I'm thinking of some more focussed rubber for the OEM rims.
Had enquired about the JDM RE070's and the newer RE055s, but neither has the appropriate E markings for the UK MOT test. If I want these then would have personal import and cross fingers at test time.
As an alternative, my dealer is proposing the Michelin Sport Cup+ tire. Rear OEM size is fine but the front are either 205 or 225/45, the latter being my preference.
Q: has anyone run these tires on the NSX?
Q: if yes, can you offer your feedback please?
Q: biggest question - can anyone advise if this F2R size relationship will work OK for the TCS?
My understanding is that this road legal track tire has a lower tread depth from new (approx 5mm) to reduce 'movement' of the tread pattern under braking/cornering.
Thanx in advance
regards, Paul
