The rear tires on the s wear out pretty damn quickly. I do drive the hell out of that car, and i had been doing a lot of power sliding as the tires wore down. After reading various message boards, i decided to replace the stock RE-050 tires with Hankook R-S2′s. The tires have a break-in period of a couple hundred miles, so I’m not going to push them yet, but I’ll do a full write up on the s2kblog once i start giving them hell.
