    Bridestone S-03: Is this a good price?

    So hopefully by next Tuesday I'll have 16" Super Aeros and new springs.

    I've shopped around for S-03s and found them for £326.86 for all 4, fitted and balanced. I know they wear quickly but I'm used to that on my bikes. At this price they are also cheaper than the Michelins I put on my wife's Xantia.

    Does anyone know of a cheaper source in the South?

    I think that you've found a good price.

    You should maybe try Newbury Tyre and Exhaust (I've never found a better price than their's, although I don't search exhaustively)

    Try Total Tyres in Binfield, Bracknell, not a million miles from you. Failing that, Micheldever Tyres in Hampshire, but last time I asked the difference was less than the petrol.

    seems like a great price, but the s03 is out of favour at the moment, you might be better off with goodyear gsd3 or pilot sport or continental sport contact

    Might want to give RoadWheel in Bagshot a call, they usually do a deal for more than 2 tyres etc.
    I paid £170 all in about 6 months ago for a pair of S03's 205/55/16.

    Re. an earlier post I made:

    "Got a quote from MichelDever for a set of 205/55 R16 Bridgestone Potenza S-03s.
    They were looking for £328 for 4 inc. vat and fitting. "

    these guys have always been the cheapest I can find..anything cheaper will be a few pounds - down to distance after that.

    Micheling pilots are good - the last Continental sport contact were not as good as S02s but that was a while ago... and 'good' is subjective.

    Have eyes set of S03s due to previous experience of awesome wet weather grip until the last scrap of tread...
