Tires questions. Please help!

[ac011]

I recently installed a new set of Bridgestone S0-3 in the rear (255/40/17). Now, I am looking to replace my front tires also. Here are my options.

225/45/16 Bridgestone S0-3
215/45/16 OEM Yokohama A022H

Which set will be the best fit? best handling?

You should never mix and match tires on an NSX. If you have S-03's in the rear, purchase S-03's for the front in the appropriate size.

I am now having a set of Toyo T1-S on front. These T1-S doesn't seem to match with my NEW S0-3. My car felt "floating" on and off on the coner with 80MPR +. I am not sure it had something to do with the T1-S?

will the OEM tires handle better then the S0-3?

Do not mix S03 on the rear and A022 in the front.

Not if you only use two of them.

Lud's advice applies here too; whatever tires you use, use all four of the same model tires. Don't put one tire on the front, and a different tire in the rear.

I just order a set of S0-3 for the front. Thanks for your help, guys.
