Default New Tires

Alright so I am running the Prodrive GC-06 sizing is:

F 17 x 7.5 +48
R 17x8.5 +54

I am running aftermarket springs to stiffen the ride a bit, also has about 1.5 in drop. In the near future I will be buying coilovers as my ride is getting worse and worse...so anyway, I was looking into the S03s or RE050s.

Any opinions on these tires or any other suggestions. I had the S02s for 4.5 years and loved them. I would like something that is very similar.

Thanks for any help. J

There are two other tires you may want to take a look at: RE050A and Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. They are in the price ranges of S03 and RE050. For much less $ and more treadware, Fuzion ZRI is a good alternative.

RE050 is unidirectional tire, it can not be rotated in stagger setup
RE050A is asymmetrical, it can be rotated left and right in stagger setup

New Falken Azenis RT-615. They're awesome. Much better in the cold and wet than any of the Bridgestones. I am 100% pleased with mine.
