I have S0-3's on my Talon and they are the best tires I have used bar none. The talon has momentus amounts of grip with AWD and adding those tires made the car just unbelivable. I swear the road would wrinkle before it let go. I really ran out of balls before the car lost grip.

The second I get to change tires on my Box it's gonna have S0-3's on it. Super quiet and seriously excellent.

Just for some technical info. The S0-3 is developed from Bridgestones F1 rain tire. All that technology is used to make the S0-3. If you watch or have heard of F2000 it;s a smaller cheaper version of F1 for normal people they run the entire league on S0-3 tires because they are so good. The S0-3 is hands down bar none the best rain tire out there. Lap times tested on many hi-po cars were almost as fast in the wet as the dry were normally there is a 5-8 second difference in lap times the S0-3 shaved it to 1.5 seconds dry vs. wet on one track in Europe, meaning they grip as well in the wet vs. dry and they are awesome in the dry.

During the bulding process of the Talon it was in many Magazines as tech build up editorial and Bridgestone gave me a set of S0-3's for it for free as they wanted editorial in the magazine I was working. They shipped them over to me, I had never heard of them prior to that. They gave me books, literature, stickers, a hat and a bunch of other F1 stuff so I knew all about them. What Bridgestone has done to develop that tire from F1 technology is simply amazing. Really for all intensive purposes it is an F1 tire for your street car.
