If you were to ignore the importing factor in the equation, which of these two setups would you run?

Well, even ignoring that you still have the 'issue' of what happens when you 'kill' a tyre accidentaly (ie. unfixable puncture) ... do you tehn order another tyre from OS and wait 6 weeks?

Still, if you pressume that both tyres were here, I say that proabably the P-Zero Rossos will give you more grip. Not sure if they will be wider than the S03s as I have not looke closely at the sizes that you're looking for.

Still, I'd probably get the S03s as they are a lot cheaper and it's nice to have same brand of tyres at the front and back. Not that running P-Zeros at the back should cause you any problem .... the main problem with running different tyres at the back is when the rear tyres offer less grip than the front ones. I don't see that happening if you get the P-Zero Rossos at the back.

ps. I have not noticed any unusual degredation of grip with the P-Zeros as they wore down. I'd say that they grip very well when worn, and are probably equal to the S02s in that regard.

This would be your only option yes, you put the stockies back on and wait, its hard to ignore the importing isnt it.

Its all about waiting when it has to do with cars. I think anything to do with getting stuff for or done to your car is inherently flawed in some way.

Thanks champ.
