Bridgestone doesn't make S-02 & S-03 (maybe just 1 size) anymore. RE070 is ok only if you can find cheap take-off ones w/ decent thread left.

Thumbs up Goodyear

I got Goodyear Eagle f-1s in may and tested at the track in june....love them more than the tires that came on the car. :-) discounttiredirect.com or tirerack.com are the 2 best places to purchase tires

I believe I am.

I saw some Falken Azeni's on the for sale thread. I think I might pick them up since they're the EXACT size for my rims! Damn need to get fender rolled.... Fatass tires will rub against my car

True. The replacement tire to the S03 is the Bridgestone RE050A Pole Position. While there are people that think the RE01R is the replacement, it actually is the RE050A Pole Position. Either tire really should offer PLENTY of traction for a Daily Driver. It's too bad they don't make the S03 anymore though as I loved those tires when I had them.

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Specs are on sale right now at Tirerack. I've had em for a couple months now and couldn't be happier.

I will ditto the RE050A Poles, had them on my FD, awesome tires! When it was hot and I found some twisty, the grip got even better! When it rained, the tire was good as long as I was not a maniac. But with the super duper awd it should not be a problem. The are also asymmetric which means you can rotate them to any wheel to get better tire wear.

On the other hand, have some Yokohama s-drive tires right now, complete junk! Time for some track days to learn how to drift to burn them up.
