Default New rubber (GIII's)

Ran the ES100's down to slicks so I decided to try the Potenza GIII's out. Went with 205/50. I only took a couple good corners and 1 round-a-bout and holy **** these tires offer a nice amount of grip. A little more tire noise but a bunch more grip. I never really like the ES100's, I ran them down to see if they would become stickier but no luck.

I have a set of the S03's on the way. I have been wandering how they are going to compare to the 010's or Azenis. From what I have read they are supposed to have good wet traction too.

they're the best tires if ever had!

only in the beginning they're a bit slippery but after about 50miles,the grip increases every time you drive it! a friend of mine actually has better times with these tires on the cirquit than semi slicks from advans!!

Where are these GIII positioned? I see traction A on the tire, while the S-03 has AA rating.
