I have just had these fitted and was wondering if any one else has any experience of them yet? I also got a really good deal, 399 for four tyres.

 

Andy, what size S03's did you have fitted? 16's!

Where did you get them from?

Thanks Dan

 

Andy, I also have recently bought so3's (£94 each inclusive from Jet tyres canvey Island, Essex). I changed from Toyo T1-s, which I was perfectly happy with, but as they were worn out it seemed a good time to try something else. Initial impressions after only about 150 miles is of decent grip in the dry ( no rain yet), very supple ride, but lots of squirming around on the tread blocks as people reported with the SO-2's. Not exactly confidence inspiring, and am hoping this will go with some more miles. I must say that the Toyo's were more impresive at this early mileage, and steering response was much better. At the moment the steering feels very sluggish, as if the steering components are made of rubber, with a slight delay to inputs. Not overly concerned at the moment as it's early days, but hope things sharpen up before they wear out!By the way, these are 16",

Nearly a 1000 miles with S03s on 17in rims and they are bedding in well. Certainly much less squirmy than when I first drove on them, where the felt like it had bad torque steer for the first 100 miles.

These were the 205 50 R16's from Bracknell tyre and battery.
