Please be carefull on slick roads!
Just a word of warning. Please be very carefull on the roads if it is slick at all. I went to work the other morning and there was a little bit of frost on the road. I went up a little hill and the back started coming out as soon as I started to give it some gas. It scared the ^*%*# out of me. The traction control was flashing so I upshifted and backed off the throttle. It is VERY easy to break the back end loose. I'm not sure if its the summer tires or what but its a real eye opener. The back end went out on my 3 times as I went up this tiny little hill.
I had been driving a AWD audi so I wasn't prepared for the change until it happened. Go slow or catch a ride with your wife(or husband) if you know its icy.

The summer tires definitly have an effect during certain conditions. They aren't made to handle snow, ice, or even frost. They are great for wet roads from rain, but not the winter weather.
What model of the Z do you have, do you have the VDC as well as the TCS?

What do you mean, the Z handles like a dream in the rain....it's snow and Ice that the tires don't like....not the car...just the tires.
Besides, the S2000 comes with 16 inch wheels, and are they Summer Tires or All Season?
