I talked to a Tire Dealer today and was told that Bridgstone is coming out with a new SO3 in April 2001. Any confirmation to this?

 

Yes, at least one S2000 owner already has these tires on his car.

Do a search, you'll find more information out there

VAS2K...search what? Bridgestone says they will not be out until April or May?

 

looks to me the s03 is a sport tire, where the re-01 is a performance tire.

 

Actually they are rated the other way around. The S02 has been the Bridgestone maximum performance tire and the S03 appears to be the successor (the S01 and Re01 being OEM tires using the tire technology earlier than the S02).

It will be interesting to see if there is an S03 OEM specification for the S2000. The OEM S02

 

Sorry, i didn't make myself clear.

GTRPower (Nick) is having his car "Mugen-fied" at King Motorsports and has the new tires on his car.........the first in the country I believe.

 

So, I wonder if the price of the SO2's will go down because they are being replaced by the SO3's. I really hope so.
