My tires have gotten to the point where they must be replaced. I liked the factory SO-2s but it has come to my attention they now make SO-3s. Just wondering what peoples experiences are with the new tires. Also, where is the best place to buy new tires?

 

Jim@tirerack gets my vote! www.tirerack.com and ask for Jim if you call - I think his extension is 364.

I know valentine is riding on the S0-3s. From what I hear - they are almost as good as the S0-2s.

 

S-02 are better for dry performance. The sidewalls are also stiffer. If you're more concerned with wet traction and tire life, you should go for the S-03

 

S02s

Very true but I hear the S03's are not as good at all

 

thanks for the input. Also, i know that these tires are not great for rain, but has anyone else noticed them being dangerously bad in the rain as tire life begins to run out?

 

and one more quick thing.....where do you get the tires mounted and balanced and what can i expect to pay? Thanks

 

I have had mine car for over 4 years now and I love the S02s but I am very comfortable with them.. I got to Radial Tire in Silver Spring... I can pull out a bill and let you know if you really want but I can't remember off the top of my head.
