Paul,

In order not to get shot down I've been quiet about them, but they get better AFTER the top layer is worn off. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Need a bit more pressure than some tyres, but I really like them. They are so much quieter than the M Pilots I had before, more grip, much better in the wet esp.

To be honest, I was not that happy with them until I'd done about 1200kms, then one day...shzam! Oodles of grip.

Just thought I'd you know my opinion of the SO3 PP. They are nothing short of amazing, compared to the P-Zeros I had on before they are miles ahead, especially on wet/damp roads. Where the P-Zeros would scrabble for grip or slide when powering out of a roundabout the SO3's just dig in. They give you so much more confidence in the car it's unbelievable. I cant really comment on how the compare on dry roads yet because all its done is rain since I had them fitted.

I would also like to say thanks to the guys at Pemberton Tyres(Wigan) who managed to get them within a day of me asking for them.

The size I fitted is 215/40/17. I am currently experimenting with tyre pressures at the moment I am running 38PSi all round. If anyone has any recommendations or comments for tyre pressures for this size they would be very much appreciated.

Regards
Paul

Out of interest, what pressures are you running with the SO3s?

Cheers

Steve,

Because I am running a heavy ar5ed Legacy (with me in it http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif ) and have a definite allergy to sponge cake sidewalls, I am running mine at 40 and 38.

Went for a drive in the heavy rain we were having in town yesterday, had one of those "moments" - a lass decided she wanted to get out of the rain...but did not look as she ran accross my bows http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif Not having tested the S-03s in the wet much I was 5hi77ing myself as the Pilots would've just ploughed (I was only doing 40km/h), but the S-03s skimmed through the HEAVY brake and swerve without much slip at all. Still checked the grundies JIC http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
