I fitted these to my Honda S2000 and the big difference compared to the Bridgestones they replaced is comfort. Rather than crashing through even the smallest pothole the ride is noticably more better. The grip is as good / better - yet to see how long they last, but assuming they don't fall apart I will be buying these again.

I have these on the front of an S2000, I use the KW17s on the rear in a slightly bigger size. These tyres are amazing, not only in the snow (where they excel) but also in any wintry conditions. The S2k has a famously twitchy rear end especially in the wet and these winter tyres go a long way to eliminating that. They are excellent and have transformed my car in the winter and snowy conditions from a unusable very expensive chunk of metal to something which can outperform a 4x4 on snow tyres on a hill.
These tyres are reasonably priced and transform the car. They are worth every penny.
I have only driven on these tyres for about 1500 miles in the last 2 months so no idea on the wear characteristics of the tyre.

The Bridgestone s02 tyres that come with the s2000 are fantastic but these are another step again.
The dry grip is probably on par but the wet grip is really good and they last a lot longer than the s02.
Would recommend them to anyone.

Fitted 245/35/18s to the rear of my beloved S2000.
Love these tyres, acres of grip in thr dry and in the wet. I only whished they lasted a bit longer. That said I dont hang around when driving. Definately would recomend and definately would buy again.
My car is not really designed for comfort being a two seater roadster, so I am unable to comment.

I have a pair of these on the rear of my Honda S2000. Bridgestones RE02 is the recommended tyre for this car, but the garage didn't have any, and sold me another brand (Admiral)which were awful, it felt like the diff was locked! After a puncture, I went and bought a cheap tyre to get me home and bought 1 Falken 452, well impressed so went back and bought the other side to match. These tyres are excellent! good performance in the wet, fantastic in the dry, the feedback from the tyres is excellent, so much so that I can tell the side walls flex slightly. I have noticed they wear quite quickly, I have done 5,000 miles and can see they have worn quite a lot, I doubt if I will get 10,000 miles out of them, but I will definately buy again.

I have driven with the S-02's on the front of my Honda S2000 for nearly 8k miles. They had already covered around 10k when I bought the car so they have lasted very well. They grip extremely well in the dry giving lots of confidence when cornering. Wet performance is also very good as long as you don't push it too much on the tighter bends. Comfort is fairly good overall and the tread design looks great. Would buy them again but they are no longer available so I will now probably replace them with Potenza RE050A's.

Seem to have all the usual Bridgestone traits.
They're great in the dry, not so great in the wet, wear ok and give you great feedback.
Might try a set of S03's next.

Bridgestones were nice. After purchasing the toyos, I have to admit, I felt the difference right away (in a good way). My s2000 was riding smoother. As for the wet grip, no real complaints here. I just hope they don't wear out too fast. If they do, i'm not rebuying...suckers cost me $500 (f@#%n staggered rims)

They should call these the Fullrun Ditchfinders !!
Found them fitted to some alloys i bought 225/40/18
I havent found the ditch yet but i've been close. They squeal like a pig in the dry and they understeer like b!tc# in the wet.
DO NOT BUY THESE TYRES. It is just not worth it. Spend your money on a decent set of boots and stay alive to enjoy life.
