I see them as YR rated tires in Tire Rack ads, hence the question.
Need ZR rated tires for my SLK32.
The P-Zero Rosso tires they supplied me came with different red letterings, so I decided to go for S03s instead, if available.
TIA.

I suppose going for YR with a high speed rating should be OK, but ....
are the sidewalls stiffer making the ride more harsh? Any owners out there with S03s with YR speed ratings who can comment on their ride. TIA.

Thanks lee2375. I realize Y os a higher speed rating compared to Z, but .....
is the ride going to be harsher (harder) on the new SO3s with the YR ratings.
I seem to re-call a poster saying so, but would like to verify the experience of other owners.
Vic55, didn't you replace yours from Pirelli Rosso to SO3? How does the ride compare.
My friend at the dealership just emailed me that the SO3s for my SLK32 will arrive tomorrow, so I just want to make sure. TIA.
