16" tires for OEM rims?

I searched with no success. Looking for DD tires, I have race rubber for when I need a fix. I considered Continental DWS, but the sidewalls are too soft and seem to buckle in a hard corner. Just looking for a comfortable ride. The tires are so old, they act like polyurethane, vs inflated rubber.

DWS are all-seasons. Do you drive the car in cold/wet conditions or snow/ice? If not, you want summer tires.
For your usage and for reasonable $$$, might go with BFG G-Force Sport Comp-2, or Hankook V12 Evo K110. Or Conti DW.
Or if you want a more serious, trackable tire that's also streetable, Bridgestone RE11A.
Check out customer reviews and test reports at Tire Rack website to be sure you're getting what you want: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSe...erformance=ALL

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out.

The S2000 is one cool car, rwd, great suspension, and no na 4cyl looks better under the hood.

Conti DW is where its at for DD+sporty. Untouchable in heavy rain. Or just man up and go 200TW -> RS3 V2 :-)
