OF course you will sacrafice some luxary, but they really bring out the sports side of the car. In simple words......a w e s o m e or better "Night and day". Shame on Acura putting those horrible OEM tires ! Now, I am talking with Comptech Sways as well. The combo of new rubber and sways........A W E S O M E !
Comptech sways with OEM tires = D A N G E R O U S !

This may be a naive question but you say that Comptech Sways and OEM tires are dangerous......why so?! I understand that the tires are shit, but when you say dangerous, what exactely do you mean?! How much did hose S03's cost you?!

I and many others think the Comptec Sways are first mod needed, then, new rubber. I like this way. I'm not interested in lowering etc.....I'm a tad bit too old for that.....
I'm looking into brakes for next project......

Yeah just wondering how much luxury you actually lose. I am considering these tires vs. the Yokohama AVS DB's. If the SO-3's are not too bad I will probably get those...

I can't compare the tires to those, other than my 30 + year Mom & Pop tire shop owners and sons, said that BMW invited them to test drive some of their cars with the S0-3's and they were speechless in terms of on the wet roads ! I have no complaints or regrets !
