No longer car shopping...
ah, the rub...
Your post is a little ironic but then again maybe you already knew this but since all of the other replies missed/neglected to point it out, I thought I would... The 03's are the better handling but they are also larger tires so best handling=most likely to rub. But these guys are also good. Provide the car and the size tire/wheel and these guys can tell you if it will work (w/o the rub). There's my 2-cents!

S-03s here.
my 225 S-03s are more then half and inch wider then my 225 Pilot Sports were.
Overall, the S-03 had a significant impact on the handling of my car. Immediately noticable.

MB is putting these tires on the 2003 S class Sports. I have a set to install tomorrow. Can't wait to get rid of those 16 inch wheels!

reason I asked is I hate it when I corner hard and SP9000's feel like they are going on sidewalls, feels too mushy.
will give SO3's a good try soon
thanks for info

The dunlops give a really nice low profile look, i don't know about the S-03's though. I think the S-02's had the same profile as the SP9000's.
