Bridgestone Potenza SO-3's in 195/50 shipped for $350.84. Just ordered my set a few seconds ago and thought I'd give you guys the heads up.

In terms of grip they are about equal with maybe a slight edge to the RE010's.

SO-3's have stiffer sidewalls and offer better turn in.

In the rain there is no comparison. The SO-3's are simply amazing.

Wait...last time I checked they were $86 per tire. Did they go down again?

[EDIT] ah...they went down to $79 per tire.

What do you guys think of the Dunlop SP Sport 9000's for $64 per tire in comparison to the SO3's?

I had SP9000 on my audi A4 before..
they are ok tires.. but they are still expensive.. that kind of price tag.. you can get better stuff.
and they wear down fast.

I have 195/50/15 S-03s on my Integra (2000 miles on them)

I just bought some Azenis in 205/50/15 for the Si wheels I have on my crx, but they are not mounted yet.

The integra is a weekend car (usually) and the crx will be the daily driver....

What do you guys think... should I have the S-03s taken off and mounted on the Si wheels for my daily driver and put the wider Azenis on my integra (turbo) ??

Also, I have a nail in one of the S-03s so I'm going to have to have that tire taken off and patched anyways. I just wonder whether it is worth the extra $$ to have the tires swapped over.

The 205 S03's have better turn in even on a stock sized rim?

yeah... how'd you get them so cheap? last time I looked, they were $86 each, too. I agree with you, though... great tire.

The S03s are excellent street tires. I currently have them mounted on my car(195/50) and have no complaints about them on the street. But in autox, the side wall needs to be a lil more stiff. I had to pump the psi to 47 or else the front tire will be rolling over in tight corners - either that or buy some wider rims Will finish off this season on s03s and try the Azenis next year
