Well today was my first day back to the grind (commute). I drive about 80 miles one way to work......My tires really bring out the hidden sportinest in the car. The combo of the Comptech Sways and these tires are unreal ! I can't begin to explain the difference. Some may like, some may not. Steering is WAY more sensitive, tight, responsive big time. I have to becareful, because it's so sensitive etc.....The car feels naturally lower as well, because of less side wall. Check out the web site for all the goodies these tires offer.
Chow for now !

 

Excellent job man!!! Tires are definitely the best upgrade, and you have made a great choice with the S03's... These tires along with the T1-S proxy are the new generation of silica-based tire compound that add a level of performance to cars never seen before for retail sale... I can't wait to check out your ride. I'll bring my digital camera and take some pics for the forum.

 

Eye eye captain ! Patience is important these days ! See you at 3:00 !

 

Nice to meet you BoBoWah ! Keep in touch !

 

how do those cmopare to the S02s?

 

I have them and love them

 

BTW, let me mention that Kumhos have silica based compounds too...

 

I just met with Bobowah and technique. They have one of each and they look the same, thread design that is......Toyo and 02's. Mine (S03's) have a different look. Just go to Bridgstone's website and check them out. Awesome tires !

 

SinnedTL:

NOISE factored out the Kumho's and many others ! I went with "one" of the best and highly recommended by many professionals.....

 

I went with the re730's. Reason was the tread wear rating was 300 compared to 03's est 150. Keep us posted on tread wear, thanks.

 

Treadwear on the S02 is 180.

Treadwear on the S03 is 220.

Treadwear on the T1-S Proxes is 280.

 

How much did they cost you + install?!

Gee...a meet in the middle of the day on a Monday...you guys are working hard..

 

what is the 225/45 effect on the spedo, and any vsa issues??

 

speedo/odo is off about 5% (reading to high). No VSA issues.

 

That should have been 2%.

 

so far, so good. I don't see any problems with my VSA or speedo. My tire shop, who has been in business 30+ years, told me to relax and not to worry. I trust these guys and really don't "race" my car, nor do I put 5 people in my car and drive like a bat out of hell, so my next project will be larger rims for the next batch !


Obtaining these tires quickly was costly. Tirerack had the best price, but would not sell them to me. So I ended up paying........$232.95 per tire !

Someone should sue Acura and/or Michilen for monopoly !

 

Why not? Because of the size?

 

Because of Ford/Firestone/Lawyers ! Go figure !

 

So, I guess they didn't believe you *could* have owned a "different" model or car (like a Bimmer) --

 

I couldn't beleive it Eric ! They declined that order and I was PISSED ! I have that guys asshole hanging in my office. This is AMERICA right ? Freedom of choice right ? Don't get me started. I'm going to enjoy my s03's !

 

So far great ! I drive 200 agressive miles on Monday, Tuesday and Wensday. I have noticed that the ride is not as lincolninininin, and SO MUCH MORE S P O R T Y......so do we have to experiment with this LION we drive ? Are there hidden "secrets about our cars" ? I mean, get the "Comptech" sways bars with the OEM tires and it spells out: DANGER.......Now the lawyers of the Americas.....expressed their concern about "L O A D R A T I N G ' S" and when it comes time for you to start looking at tires, then all this above crrrrraap is crap will hit you down the road of R E A L I TY.......Sooooooooooooooo, after listening to others on the board, I am happy with my decision. the are A W E S O M E.....back to the hot tub...........
