No worries, you didn't sound negative at all. You're suggestions are very good, I just looked at every tire that would be suggested on an 18/19 setup and didn't see any I liked as much as the super sports.

I was going to get the Yokohama S-Drive, as I liked their performance except when it rains they get slippery and we get random tropical rains, and coming down a steep, curvy road like the Pali when it's raining requires sticky, sticky tires. Personally, I don't like the Bridgestones, I have a friend who has an 2006 Cayman -S, a car that drives somewhat similar to the NSX, and didn't like the Bridgestones on his car, and neither did he. I test drove a 1991 NSX before I bought this one with the BFG KDW2 on it, and it was raining that day and car felt slippery. I also test drove a 2002 NSX with Kumho SPT on it and didn't like those either.

The TCS was coming on intermittently, so I just turn it off when I get in the car. The car is my daily and 90% of my driving is traffic lights, so TCS isn't really a requirement. The island I live on has no track, Honolulu is a city, so most of my driving is stop light to stop light, with an occasional highway run that can never be longer than 20-30 miles. This is a VERY small island.

Our roads are actually pretty terrible (but they're finally starting to fix them.) We live on a volcano and the subsurface constantly shifts and causes pretty bad potholes. In 2008, Honolulu roads were rated the 2nd worse in the USA... http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2008/Mar/13/ln/hawaii803130345.html

This has SLOWLY started to get better, but still many roads are bad. I've found the SuperSports feel much more stable driving every day.

I went through the lists on this thread and didn't see any tires that I really liked. You said there's some that will out perform the Supersports, and I'm curious which ones you think so, as I am willing to try them on my next round. My buying options are limited to what I can get from Tire Rack and Costco, otherwise shipping here is too much.

Thanks for your input, again, it wasn't negative and I am grateful for the guidance!
