Looking for input on tire selection for a S2. What is available and what have you all found work at a good price.

I really like the Bridgstone BT020's.
They wear well, are cheap, have good grip an warm up quickly.
However, they are sensitive to tire pressure, even a few pounds low and the feel "loose".

I'm running D208s with no problem, but think I'll try the 1125r-spec Diablo Corsa III next. The dual compound appeals to me, harder in the middle out back for better wear on the slab. I've got about 4k on my 208s now and starting to get thinner in the middle (sorta like my hair, LOL).

I've ridden the 1125r at the track and loved the tires, they handle GREAT. And being an OEM tire, I should be able to get a pretty decent price on it thru work.

Has anyone tried the Michelin Pilot Power tires on a S2? Tire Express has them for 225. front and rear. Still looking at options.
