[s-cars] Wandering-SO3's, Tire Reccomendations?

Mon Oct 6 15:36:32 EDT 2003

On my experience, the S03 is the best tire. Except it wears pretty
quickly. Adrain will reply that I should not be surprised due my driving
style. Jim and Jim will confirm !

Happy to read the other opinion on those Good Year tires.
I have alos heard good stuff about the new Michelin Sport Pilot II.

Tire size is 265/35 x 18

Are all your suspension bushings in good shape?  Tires designed to go
where pointed have to be, and if the connection with your steering rack
is tenuous, then the car will wander.  No doubt 4 narrow spare tires
would be totally unaffected by road imperfections.
