What size Hankook front and back?I just got new tires for my '96 NSX - the Hankook RS4's - LOVE them! They really hug the road - I see a big improvement from the RS3's.

What size Hankook front and back?
Original stock NSX specs - 16" front and 17" rear

Thanks...I was interested in the size tires you were able to source for 16/17 in Hankook RS4s.
Looks like the dealer is putting the G-Force Rival S on the car before shipping. Hope the tires are good for the street.
There shouldn't be any negative ramifications. The sizes are still within the tolerances for the TCS to work properly. And any difference in performance and grip will be negligible, especially on the street, even in brisk cornering. Just sit back and enjoy them!I earlier posted this:

I had my mechanic get them and you are right, it turns out the front are 205/45 ZR 16 (not OEM 215/45 R16) The rears are OEM 245/40 ZR 17
What ramifications are likely from mixing these two specs? Not doing much track these days, but like to challenge corners on the street. They are performing great

My mechanic is recommending new Koni yellow shocks. Is this a good choice. I am not interested in lowering the car

I had the Bilsteins on my NSX, mounted for the stock ride height, and I liked them a lot. They were comfortable in normal street driving and tightened up nicely when driving hard.I found the Koni yellows to be quite harsh on my 91. That was with Comptech progressive lowering springs. I'd probably choose the Bilstein over the Koni- they feel more compliant at least under my butt dyno lol.
Are your OEM ones shot?

Just seeing his avatar made my day brighter.
Yes - that's what my mechanic says - the ride is pretty bumpy - but I do have the Type S anti sway bars and when I added the 5 point restraint system it tightened up the ride a bit
Honestly, if you already have the Type-S sway bars, it might be worth it to bite the bullet and buy the Type-S shock/spring from Japan. I've had a chance to spend some real time on this suspension in [MENTION=34522]NSX_n00b[/MENTION]'s car and I have to say it's probably the best all around suspension option for our cars. It's soft over bumps, compliant and really sharpens up under load. You also get a bit of lowering too. Even the great Keiichi Tsuchiya claimed he tried, but could not improve upon the Type-S. It's that good.
Interesting... what do they cost and who carries them?
