I'm usinf 205/50/15 So3's now. Aside from being alittle on the expensive side the tires grip really good in wet conditions. That was the biggest descision maker for me. They also grip really well in the dry but as I have come to find out they will give little warning of break-away. (none to little noise)
Just make sure you test the limits in a safe area. All and all I would buy them again

Bridgestone S-03s are awsome tires. They are among the stickiest street tires in the dry. And they have by far the best wet-weather performance of any tire I have ever tried. The sidewalls are very stiff. They have excellent tread life considering their performance as well. You should get at least 20,000 mi out of a set - even if you do a few autoxs on them. They are also very quiet tires as well. I would argue that they are the best all-around ultra high-performace street tire you can buy today - worth every penny.

An incredible tire. Awesome dry and wet performance. I've been through a few sets and they have done me very well in auto-x.

Depends on how hard you drive, my S2000 feels horrible on them, if you are going for the unlitmate in dry traction the S02's are much much better in my opinion.

Now if you are using a 16 or a 18 you can get the S02 W's if your lucky. They are the OEM honda and porsche S02's and they are quite a it stickeir then the normal S02's which are plenty sticky for street use. Life expenctancy of the S02's is only like 8000k at most. I think I got 6500 on my first set.
