Tire Question-Pilot Sports or S03's

Tomato · #1 (**permalink**) 10-29-2003, 11:21 PM

Well the time has come for me to get some new tires for the summer wheels. I current have S03's on them and have loved these tires however I can get a killer deal on some Pilot Sports. Should I switch to the pilot sports or stick with the S03 that I have been pleased with. I only like to push the car when its dry because i'm a big wuss when the roads get wet lol. How about some comparisons from people who have owned both.

Thanks

I only run Pilot Sports.

From experience, S03s grip better but less forgiving than Sports.

I've had both the Pilots and the SO3's and I prefer the SO3's. However, in all actuality they are very close in terms of performance, except I believe the SO3's have better wet traction. Anyway, if you really have a good deal on the Pilots I would buy them. Otherwise, stick with the Potenza's.

Pilots are worth the money and you will get more life out of them... But the SO3 are.. like someone else said better in rain. The SO3 have something called UNI-T technology that give it better traction in the rain but i would go for the sports

Looks like I will be going with the Pilot Sports since I can pick them up for less then S03's. Wet traction always worries me but I am sure nothing can be worse then the Goodyear Eagle RS-A's that came on the car lol.
