Question bridgestone potenza S-03

does anyone have these tires?? how do they compare to OE Michellen Pilot sports? does the tread wear last longer? all in all is it better than OE or Yokohama AVS ES 100.

They are great tires. Very widely used and loved in my Audi world.

You can get owner reviews on tirerack.com and I also have them on my car and feel they are great street/highway tires but not the best "track" tires.

I didn't like my S03's that much. It takes a long time for them to warm up, very noisy on the highway, and heavy. I think I may go with the Toyo's next time.

I have a set of them on my car, 255/45/18 & 235/40/18. IHMO, I think they're better than the OEM Pilots, in both price and performance.

I have enjoyed them for years on my RX-7. Yes they are heavier than others, but they are a stronger tire. Excellent on dry and better than most on the wet. They have excellent breakout characteristics -they will let you know when they are loosing traction and it is easy to recover without snap oversteer. It is a tire I recommend to family and friends. As soon as OEM's are done I will get SO3's.

I have the S-03's and they are not noisy AT ALL. Great tires IMO, but expensive.
