I went with 285/30 x 18 rears (see below) and changed my front rims to 8 inch.

My only advice is that you change all 4 tires, i had an almost bad experience with new S03s on the front and S02s on the back of my friends 300Z....lets just say the fronts stuck but the backs didn't <img src="graemlins/oops.gif" border="0" alt="[oops]" /> <img src="graemlins/oops.gif" border="0" alt="[oops]" /> .

I drove to a DE where I used up what was left of my Hoosiers...So I used the new tires.

Time to replace my Asimms and do not want to buy Pirelli again.

S03s are great tires, probably what's going to replace my sh!tty Falkens this summer on the SC.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Time to replace my Asimms and do not want to buy Pirelli again. Was going to go with Pilot Sports, but the S03 was rated higher on Tirerack and is cheaper. Also, the 265/30/18 is listed as closeout, so I wouldn't want to be stuck without a replacement in case of a blowout.

Don,
I've only got about 2500 miles on mine and I think they are great. Better than Pilot Sports and Contis for sure. The Pilot Sports make too much noise for me (squeal) and don't grip as well as the SO3's. The Contis are not even in the same class.
I went with 285/30 x 18 rears (see below) and changed my front rims to 8 inch. The car handles very well now and very predictable (for my driving style).

Loren,
I had the S02, but they didn't gave any warning on when they would loose the grip. Is this better on the SO3 ?
I have the Conti Contact2 now and they have almost no grip.

Seems to me that the S03 has much better stick to start with. I think they are predictable when they let loose. No spins... yet
At least I feel I know when they are about to go. With the Conti's I could spin turning into a parking lot too fast!

I just put on a set last Fri. They ride nice on the road. I drove to a DE where I used up what was left of my Hoosiers...So I used the new tires.
For a few sessions.
They held up ok in the turns for about 4 laps then went away. Also under hard brake the slip a A LOT. Maybe I'm spoiled..but I expected better brake hold under load. So beware they turn nice....hope you don't have to stop too fast <img src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" border="0" alt="[hiha]" />
