| Another nub saying hi
Just saying hi from the island!
Been a member of BCMazda3 and MazdaspeedForums for a while. In the market for an AP1 S2000 so figured I'd sign up, say hi and keep an eye open.
Current ride is this:   
She's fully bolted and a lot of fun  |

Remember they're Z rated though, so expect tread wear to be high. That being said, mine have lasted for over 6K now and show pretty minimal wear for their age.

But i'm currently deciding between those, And BF Goodrich Comp-2's. | |

The Comp 2s are newer aren't they? Can't speak much on them since I haven't seen them irl but a few of the guys off s2ki like them; supposedly strong in both wet and dry with a treadwear of 340. The evos have a treadwear of 420, but considering they're different brands, this is all moot.
Get the cheaper ones lol.
