*Pics* S-03 treadpattern

Following the thread a few days ago with Kuhmos. As I have said a few times before, I cannot stop praising this tire. It is phenomenal.

BTW, sorry for the terrible quality



Very large ribs

Yes, S-03 Pole Postions, the current top performance tires. I took the 328Ci for a drive today on a really fun road, I was amazed at how good they were.

I had S02s on my S2000. If they are anything equal or better, then they are the best. The S02s were the best street tire I ever had. I took a few people for a ride at the last Autocross that I went to and everyone commented that they couldn't believe that they weren't slicks.

Didn't the S2000 come standard with S-02 PPs? I have seen them with the potenzas. Anyway, I think that the S-03s are supposed to be almost identical to the S-02s in the dry, but better in wet. Last night I was astonished when I was taking a curve rated at 20mph at 55+, the car was still turning in and had more grip. They really are amazing

I hope I get the same comments at the Auto-X next week

S-03s

Good Looking Tire !

It's really between these and the Toyos for the "high price" tire !

Don't think you'll loose which ever you choose

Yes it comes with S02's but not PPs. They are specially designed for the S2K.

S0-3s are not the successor to the ultra high performance S0-2 Bridgestone tire. The S0-2 is still the highest performing tire you can buy from Bridgestone.

the Dunlop SP8000 has been out of production for a long time....you can still get them easily. The S0-4 will be the direct successor to the S0-2.

WTF? You're not making any sense. Why take a tire out of production and not have a successor? Why call it S-03 if it isn't a successor to the S-02? The S-03 IS the successor to the S-02.

Eh, my fault. Going by ear on technicalities and people saying the S0-3s are not as sharp as the "older" S0-2s. Been told the S0-4 is due out shortly.
