Some of the 03's had tire feathering. No big deal. The tires are crappy. The treadwear rating on the factory tires are like 130, my new tires are 360.

The stock tires will wear really fast.

I actually went with these:

I love them. They have really good grip, but price sold me. Its an off brand but much better than the factories. I am waiting a little longer in the front because they were replaced by the dealer and I dont want to waste them.
