I'm getting 17x7.5 F and 17x9 wheels. I decided on 225/45/17 and 255/40/17 S03 but my tire shop bought a whole bunch of S-02 at really low prices, problem is they don't have 225/45/17 for the front. Only 205/50/17.

The shop is a Bridgestone dealer. The S03 will be $1500 CAD installed while the S02 will be $1000CAD.

I'm not sure about the 205F/255R S02 combination. I'm sure it will look fine but will it handle properly?

Any insight is appreciated.

 

understeer at the limits.... you will plow through turns...

 

i have the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 in 225/255. Most people I have talked to like them better than the S03s....

 

the question was regarding the size combination he want's to use.

On a side note...I agree with the PS2's being

 

SO2 in 17"are most likely "Z"series for Porsche,not nearly as good as SO3.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm going with the S03. The last time I compromised on tires I wasn't happy.
