SO3's dry = woah f'ing amazing
SO3's wet = not bad at all
SO3's snow =suck major ***.

This is after about year of ownership. I love this tire.... I will buy another set. For the money its one hell of a deal.

i think that the reason he said that is because the s03's are one of the highest rated wet traction tries available....especially for a max performance tire. they are well known for having better grip in the wet than a lot of high performance tires do in the dry. i believe that is his reasoning....

Default I agree about the S03s

Great summer tires! Will need some other rim/tire combo for the winter, if you have one.

I've got them in 17" on my non-Honda - luv 'em. Approx. $200 each, mounted. Mas o menos.

sorry,
didnt mean to come off like that, it was immature on my part

part of the S03s claim to faim is their UNI-T technology which gives SURPERIOR wet performance, better then most in dry conditions. i have owned a set and easily the best wet tire ive ever driven hands down

bridgestone Potenza's have quite a bit of pride in their name and heritage in their racing roots, i wouldnt second guess them. they WILL perform

this is my opinion, better then my last one?
