     Tires with the same overall rolling diameter are best.  Be sure to
check that with the specific tire you choose as the same p-metric size can
have different heights depending on the manufacturer and specific tire.
     There's a wealth of info on www.urs4.com   I don't think you'll hear
anyone trashing S-03's unless they are using them for snows.
