Your post is slightly confusing, do you have 1991-1993 wheels or 2002-2005 wheels?

Gadgetman has some lightly used tires that will fit the 2004 rims for a very good price.

you should contact him.

It appears he has a 1993, but with 2004 OEM wheels.

Yokohama S-Drives are good.

Also his OEM fronts on 17 inch 2004 rims are still good. Turn the steering wheel full while parked so you can check the inside tire wear. 91-93 factory wears out the inside fronts in less than 20k miles. If you can't find a close match for the rear to your fronts you should think about buying 4 new tires. I've run mixed tires on other cars but they are at least the same brand. Wouldn't mix tires on my NSX. Call Gadgetman.

Bridgestone Potenza RE-11A

I run Bridgestone Potenza RE-11A's on my '91 NSX daily driver. I think you can get them to fit for your rims as well. They're super-sticky on both dry and wet pavement and wear better than expected.

Couldn't resist


Besides, there is a separate forum for this discussion : wheels & tires. Might get more exposure there - just saying.

^^^^Yokohama S drives suck ass too. Couldn't resist..... Had them on my bimmer. What a crappy tire.
I'd go with the Bridgestone.

I stand corrected. Apparently the Yokohama S-Drive is a piece of shit. My bad.

Ha ha, you're right. I sit corrected.

Sorry [MENTION=25015]brettowen[/MENTION], that was not necessarily directed at you. Different tires work better or less better in different regions. I guess I should have mentioned my region and its perks. My bad, everyone here has a right to opinion here. My s drives lasted less than 1 year.....

Are they fairly quiet?

For example:

The Yoko's usually get good reviews because they are inexpensive. What they do though is provide terrible grip, wear, and road noise. But good for the price I guess.

The second response is from a Nsx owner who like the s drive. All subjective really.

BF Goodrich Sport Comp 2's. Can't recommend them enough. Sticky summer tire, and I just got 20k miles out of mine ON THE REARS! Need to check the fronts again, but I believe they're at 6 or 7 32's.

Even though the S-Drive isn't good enough for the track day monster or canyon enthusiast I'd still recommend them for an all around weekend driver. They are value priced compared to others, last a bit longer, and do well in the rain.
