The owners handbook for the S2 specifies 205/45 R16. This is what I have on my stock S2 wheels (BBS).<br><br>Alan

I'm also using 205/45 R16 on 16" wheels, seems you are too low profile.

G, i had michelin exalto sports on whitey, which were brilliant all weather tyres but are over £100 each, so now ive gone onto Goodyear F1 GSD3's. These are very highly regarded in the tyre trade & in all independent tests done & i got mine for £75 each from Johnsons Tyres, but bought them in pairs, so i'm sure you could get them cheaper if buying all 4 ?
JPS M100 was built from bare chassis up to create one off M100 in the mould of JPS Team Lotus
