Had S03 PP's fitted last week, 215/40 x 17, and tried them in the rain for the first time this morning, they are fantastic.
The curved motorway slip-road I use everyday has a surface change ( to less grippy ) half way along, with the old P-zeros the car would skate across the road, whereas with the S03's the grip remains the same. Less fun but much much safer !

I read some where on the EVO forum that Bridgestone may re-introduce the SO2'2?

Thats a blummin good price for Quick-fit ! I paid £432 for mine at Super Tyres in Welwyn Garden City but it did take a fair few calls phoning aorund to get down to that price.

I've recently had a new set of so2's from TSL and from what I can gather there aren't many sets left in the country.My mate has an Integra with So2's on and he found a company that can still get them. They advertise in the back of Evo- The Tyre Company-0870 900 99 88
215x45x17-£121.86
215x40x17-£133.40 inc.free nationwide fitting!

I posted on the MLR Forum that the S-02's might be reintroduced because my bro told me he had read it here!

I've had my new set of S03's now for a couple of weeks. I'm very pleased, I'd forgotton how much fun corners could be...

I bought them from Merityre.co.uk for £400 all in.
