Default Potenza S03's

Just for your information. I have now gotten Potenza S03's. Not a huge difference really in dry, but in wet, they are the bomb! There is almost NO difference between driving in wet vs driving in dry conditions now.

Yes, they are rated to last slightly longer than the S02's. Bridgestone made a great step in the right direction with these tires.

Wisconsin S2k, can you tell us what you lost in terms of steering response? The OEM S02's have NO sidewall flex, none. I am curious how much the S03's have? I was trying to see how much sidewall flex the OEM tires have by pushing the car sideways and it does not move. Any other car that I have tried this on has moved quite a bit.

Thanks,
Bob

I paid $164 each for mine, after a 10% rebate. Replacemet S02s were going to cost almost $200 each. (Now, I have S03s on the front, S02s on the back. IMO, this combo seems to be giving a better ride.)

Tirerack has them for $156.00. I tried the S-03's but went back to the S-02's.
