Alright, I think I'm getting some royal black Rota Subzeros wrapped in Potenza S-03s. My question is, anyone know a place to get them cheap? I will order from 2 different places for better pricing.

 

I had the Ziex's. Worked great. Got 'em cheap at Les Schwab, too.

 

What size tire would you reccomend? I'm getting 17 x 7.5 subzeros.

 

225/45/17 i suppose.

 

vulcan tire has them for a lot less than 110

 

225/45/17 or 215/45/17?

 

hell if you wanted you could also do 235 40/45 17
depends on what you want, most peple run 225 45 17

 

225 if its a sedan.

 

or get some 17X8.5 slips and run 255's all day.

 

225/45/17 if you have a sedan or 215/45/17 if you have a wagon.

you can get 225/45/17 on the wagon but you'll most likely rub. It also depends on what kind of tire it is. From what people have recommended i'd get the st115 or the es100. if you need more tire get them on the next set. Also just FYI, Neither of them are all season. If you want all seasons get the ZE512's.

great idea

 

IMHO S-03s aren't the best daily driving tires. They're quite noisy, if you're used to stock, and since IIRC they're Z rated tires, which means they're $$$ and they don't exactly last for a long time. Supposedly the Michelin Pilot Sport PS/2s are better gripping tires, last about the same, make a little more noise, but cost the same.

Though, if these tires were just going to be daily drivers i'd get the Bridgestone Potenza RE950s. I've not only heard nothing but great reviews of this tire, but it carries a factory 40k mile warranty on them.

 

They will be my only set of tires....

How many miles do those of you who have used the s03s get out of them?

 

if you are realy worried about longevity, then i suggest getting some all seasons, like the ones people have already mentioned (falken 512's for example)

 

Well, if you're looking for longevity, yes you'll want all seasons especially if it's going to be your only set of wheels/tires. Falken ZEIX 512's have a 30k mile warranty, I believe Kumho ASX has a 30k mile warranty, and then what I've stated before the Bridgestone RE 950s w/ a 40k mile warranty. IIRC those are the only V-rated (more stickier of the bunch) that have mileage warranties.
