New S03's...Wow!
What is it about a new set of tires that just puts a big grin on your face?
What a great day. It was time for new rubber as my old tires were getting a bit worn. I decided on S03s and wow, what great feel. Sort of like a new pair of shoes...my SC feels likes it's faster, more nimble and all around kick a$$.

Don't forget the extra 10 horsepower you get from new tires!

I think it goes back to the stone age and the invention of the wheel is why it so cool when you get new tires. And SO3's make it even better. It's the primitive man in you calling out, Let's roll

from an old post I did
"Simply-- Like a young Mako eyeballing a school of Mackerel...'77 2.7, 25 1/4 & 24 3/4 to fender, sport eng/trans.mounts, 22/27 springs, stock sway bars, 205-55-16 all, Fuchs, Weltmeister bushings F/R. The traditional sneakers were RE-71, went thru a few sets of them. The S-03 is a serious, relaxing, eager sneaker waiting to perform, relative to the RE-71.... The best street action on Long Island, IMO, is Northern State Pky. It was built after WW 2 for scenic Sunday drives with a speed limit of 45 mph. It was shortly raised to 55 mph. N. S. is all twisties. Anyway, the late metro NY commuter scene is wild. The most eastern 20 mi. is twisting, narrow, 2 lanes[going east] stretch I like for late evening rides travels at 70-90 mph. The BMW/Lexas crowd rides the left lane. The S-03 was able to position quickly and effortlessly avoiding the bears feeding on the Mackerel at 90 in 2 narrow twisting lanes. The greater the speed the stronger the S-03's control of traffic, compared to the RE-71. What suprised me was not the firm ride but the lack of harmonics transfered to the cabin. A quiet, low harmonics, but firm, impressive, excellent street tire, IMO."
