Default S03's

I'm running on S03's & they took a bit of a pounding on the academy day The outside edges are a bit scrubbed. Does anyone know whether I can swap them over N/S to O/S so they look a bit more presentable?

S02s are directional and can only be used to rotate one way. I don't know whether S03s are like that too, but you will need to bear that in mind if you're going to swap them over.

Rotating would be ok but is there an inside and outside?

S03's are directional, as I remember they are OK to swap over between rims

Personally I'd ditch them, I am not a fan of these tyres

Thanks all

Though I've nothing to compare these against on the S, they seemed to stick pretty well during the Academy day. What would you recommend as replacements? F1's ? & if so, what sizes?

Chris

I have just stuck S02's on and it's like driving a different car....the car feels a lot more secure underneath you. The car to me just feels soggy with S03's on...bouncy feeling...difficult to describe. You can't get the S03's in 245 fitment in the correct profile and diameters so the rear end was loose anyway

I have Godyear Eagles 205/55 245/45 going on after the two track days I am doing. I chose the Eagles as I fancied a change and I've heard good reports

I've probable got a few '000 left but may change a bit early & keep these for the track etc. Let us know how you get on with the Eagles. The choice seems to be S02's, Eagles or F1's. Views of owners who have changed between these would be interesting.
