Hi Guys!!
I really need some help. I have to replace the rear tires on my '91 stock NSX. Since OEM tires are becoming increasing rare [none to be found in Canada - says Yokohama] I'd like to switch to a NEW brand of tire. I've narrowed my choices down to two. Yokohama recommended Yokohamas. [Can you believe it?! lol] They suggested the AVS ES100. Trouble is [and it IS 'trouble' - isn't it?] the only way I can get those tires is if I accept Z-rated rears and V-rated fronts. I don't THINK I want to do that. [do I?]
So basically - it's down to the Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 and the Bridgestone Potenza RE750. Why those two - I don't really know. I guess I just feel more confident buying brands that I'm familiar with.
Of those two [unless I'm completely blind to a much better choice] which would you choose? [I'd like my NSX to feel like my NSX - or at least VERY close to it] Also - my fear - having only used OEM tires since I first bought my '91 almost 10 years ago - is that by using the Michelin or Bridgetones [or any other tire - for that matter] what I love about my NSX will be lost forever. Is that fear unfounded?
Please help.
Craig!!
