I have sold a ton of SO-3s to Porsche and audi owners, nothing but good feedback so far.. However haven't been out long enough to get higher milage feedback.

Be wary of Audi and Porsche owners. They just go for the latest, most expensive tire, which the s-03 is.

I mean it's good, but it's also very expensive...

thanx! that helped alot. i think i'm gonna go with the S-03's! what tire size would be best 205/50 or 195/50? my r is lowered with HR's 1 1/3 drop and i'm on stock rims. i don't want to sacrifice the clearance i have now.

If you are in that price range I would consider PZero Assimetricos. There is also the PZero Rosso which sacrafices a little dry traction for better handling in the wet.

I have almost-dead PZero Assimetricos and am going to replace with same. Their wet handling is more than adequate. Their dry handling is amazing.

since the s-03's that are 195-50-15 are similar to the azenis 205-50-15 in price, which one would you rather have??...one has more width, the other has more grip?? Thanx
