No, but drive an S2000 with even the S-03's or something that can handle water and it makes a big difference.

The short wheel base, lightweight, stiff suspension and tight handling make it prone to spinouts.

yes we all agree that S02's suck in the cold or wet. but this thread seems to be focusing on the tires which shouldnt be the #1 focus.

even AP2's with softer spring rates and 17" RE050s are spin happy.
