Question

Hi all,

has anyone used an Bridgestone S03?

How does it compare to the SO2?

Thanks

Sonu

Not sale in impreza sizes until 'summer'.

The S03 is not necessarily a replacement for the S02. The S01 wasn't superceded by the S02

S01 - dry bias
S02 - wet bias (but also the best allrounder)
S03 - ??????

I've driven a car with the new S03s fitted, but it wasn't an Impreza. They seemed very grippy in the wet, and the compound quite soft (pressing with fingernail test).

I think I'll try a set when they become generally available.

PS The car was the Noble M12 GTO

Darren,

Bridgestone have told me that:

1. Most SO-2 sizes WILL be phased out & replaced with SO-3s;

2. Scooby sizes won't be available until June/July.

Will undoubtedly be in short supply initially so don't expect to be able to do the same deals that are currently possible on SO-2s (c£100/tyre).

Hugh
