S03s have the most advanced and diverse compound out now. When the P Rossos are dead, S03s are it.

I absolutely love the Toyo T-1S's! They are first of all, very quiet, which is very important to me. And, they perform flawlessly in wet and dry conditions. The aggressive tread pattern is not just cool to look at, but sticks like glue. I am running a 225/45/17 on Momo Quasar 2's. What a difference! For the money, I would highly recommend the Toyo's. I also looked at the Bridgestone, but they were very pricey. Hope this helps...

Default Get the S03's. Look at the tread pattern on Toyo's

<i>highest</i> performing tire, the Proxes RA-1, and while not even close...the tread pattern is closer to the S03's than to the T-1's.

I have always like how blocky tread patterns perform, and am skeptical of tires that try too hard to look good.

Of course, I still have the OEM ContiSports, so what the hell do I know? Just my 2 cents.

Silver Shadow, I can get a whole set of SO3's for only 40 bucks more than a package of T1s's

Default Just put a set of S-03s on my 4.2

They replaced the 255/35-18 S-02s that I had on previously. I also have 225/40-18 Pilot Sports on my S4. The S-03s are a great tire. Excellent road holding, very good ride quality and they don't follow road imperfections as much as the Pilot Sports tend to. I can highly recommend the S-03s.

I just bought some wheels last week and I'm going to get the Toyo T1S's on them. From what I hear they're a great performance tire. Reasonably priced, fairly long treadlife, quiet and looks great. What kind of wheels did you get?
