RE730 -vs- S03 Pix Inside
Hey all,
I just swapped out the PolePosition S03 for the RE730. Here are the Before amd after shots for look and tread pattern on the CLS. I havent broken them in yet but the initial reaction I have is better staight line acceleration traction and *slightly* poorer handling....
SO3 - Gone Now
RE730 - On Now

Yeah, I've already burned through at set of RE730's. I was appauled at how loud they got as they aged. It might be the load rating issue that caused the poor wear on the 225's. When I took them off after 22000 miles they were chewed to shreads and did not look safe at all.
Sticky as hell though and pretty good in the rain.
I wouldn't buy them again just because of the road noise issue and because I'm not sure they are up to handling our big girl's heft.

Zapata: In laymens terms the smaller the tire the lighter the wheel and the more rpm's the travel at which = more speed 
CLS16: There is no comparison between the Michelins and the Bridgestone S03's, Yokohama AVS Sport, and Bridgestone RE730's .... worlds apart they each feel 10x better then stock.
Moomaster: Im debating the Nex Coil-overs -vs- the Zeal B6 ... not sure if the $$ is justifiable for the Zeals when im just really looking for adjustable drop.....

I'm asking if you would go with a wider 16 inch tire? YOu know like a 7.5 instead of a 7.

That's not very long at all. If I drive as hard as you do, I might have to rethink this one.
