Default S-03 Replacement

I am ready to take my 2003 S2000 out of the garage and I need new tires. I have been running S-03's. I went to my local Bridgestone dealer and found out the S-03's are discontinued. Is there a replacement for them? I asked about RE 760's which are new to me and in their book they don't make a 245/45/16 in that model? At the dealership they only show the factory sizing for replacement.

What should I do. I don't need S-02's. I also do a lot of highway driving.

Thanks for the help.

RE050A Pole Positions are the nearest thing to a replacement for the S03's.

RE-11's are a step up in terms of raw grip, but don't offer as much in the way of water-channeling ability/hydroplaning-resistance.

You don't need 245/45-16s, and none of the best tires come in that size. 225/50-16 is fine for the rears.

Die stickie die...

I have the 760's on m6 '03. Currently have around 12K on them and there still at 7/32nds.

I have a set of 760's coming. I have a couple of long trips coming up and the 760's should work perfectly.
