Got a full set of SO3's fitted at Tyres Northampton(cheers lads) last week.Since owning the scoob I have been running on Firestones.Well now my new ones are scrubbed in all I can say is W W!

What a difference four bits of rubber make,the cornering ability is greatly improved,especially in the wet.

Steve,

How much were the SO3's? (I am prob going for TS-1's, just wondering how much more the SO3's are...)

Cheers,

Tim.

I bought a new set for £100 a corner all in. Very slippy for the first 100 miles, thought I'd made a big mistake, but now I'm starting to remember how much fun cornering is :-)

Got them from merityre in Wandsworth. Check out the web site

I absolutely agree, that small amount of rubber is the most important part of the car in many ways...
