Can't afford new wheels at the mo, so getting some tyres.

 

Phoned up and found the Bridgestone S02s are now replaced by S03s as I thought. Apparently S03s are not as good and will be replaced by S04s soon anyhow. He said a lot of people complained about S03s being not so good.

 

Anyone tried S02s, then changed to S03s?

 

Also tried bridgestone vs Goodyear F1s?

 

Also he also tells me, you can no long get goodyears for the 300. As the rears are no longer made in the new pattern F1 GSD3 (and fronts you can get). Pants huh?

 

BTW - prices I got quoted were:

 

Bridgestone S02 - can still get some old stock, luckily.

 

Rears - £149 all in each.

Front - £120

Now I'm confused.............

 

I'll have to go take a look.......

 

Not yet mind as it's raining and it's dark..

 

Yep.......I'm scared...

 

 

Matty.

 

------------------

I dont know if they are out yet Matty!!

 

I have seen 2 adverts for them on TV, but there is nothing on the web site about them. I got this a few months ago, from there when they where saying coming soon!!!!

 

 

Stuart

Just been out in the wind and the rain (wearing only my shorts...)

 

I have the old ones......which doesn't make them crap!

 

Well worth the 378.93 I spent on them plus the 20 pounds at quick fit getting them fitted!

------------------

I know Matty. Because a new tread has come out doesnt mean that the old ones performance declines.

 

Take the S03. Most people say they are not as good as the S02's. The old F1's may be better than the new F1s

Well the pic I posted is from Goodyear's website so the new ones can't be out yet.

 

I've got the Eagle F1's on mine

The new ones are out at the moment Just got some.

I got them from Central Tyre in Croydon.

265/40/17 = £258ish for 2,

235/45/17 = £190ish for 2,

+VAT

I ended up with those 4 tyres, balanced, etc. and tracking done for £576inc

Gio,

 

Deffo no worries mate, I asked and they are upgrading the site, no more no less.

No fly by night people there me thinks, I can only go on what I have found and the excellent reputation they have on the forum, alot of people on here use them.

 

They are the cheapest I have found, service was top drawer.

 

 

Matty.

 

 

Fair enough, Matty, sounds good.

 

BTW I think I saw a set of the new tread pattern two weeks ago in Feltham Tyres, Slough.

Sad thread of the week award ?!?
