i think it's supposed to be funny,
but i found it kinda awkward.

eh, i guess it's not work safe, but there's no naked chicks in it.

s03 sucks.

well, s03s are awesome tires too, but s02's better imo.
besides wet tracktion s02s are overall superior if not the same.
bring your car to track and you'll see why.

now only if i can get re01 in the us...

Never tried either of those .......

I have never liked the S02's in the wet and tried getting S03's but was advised by the shop to go with RE01's ..... great in the wet, the car feels much more stable, and they feel very sticky in the dry ..... the only concern at the moment is durability as they did warn me that I am not likely to get the 15,000 miles out of these that I got out of my S02's .... (though they did look like racing slicks when I changed them )
