S0-3's, AFAIK, are generally regarded as one of the best all-around performance tires available. If it were me, thats what I would get.

I've got S03s, very good. Haven't tried others so I can't comment on them.

Tried both, S03's are better, they have a stiffer sidewall so ride is firmer and not floaty.

I agree, S-03's are better especially if you plan on occasioally tracking your car.

I forgot, that being said I had feathering with the RE040's, then with the S03's also, but with the TOYO's in betweenno feathering go figure.

My toyo's have less than 1000 miles on them so I'm not sure about feathering yet. But I do notice the car is faster because the toyos are lighter than the S-03's

Had both on my 19's -- here's the pros:

T1S = lighter (better accl), softer ride, price
S03 = heavy, harder, excellent turn-in and lateral grip

IMO, Toyo's are also better in the wet if that's important to you.

I'm going with the T1-S.

you can actually feel the difference?

Yes, I was a little surprised as well. They are 4lbs lighter per tire so it's taking 8lbs off the rear axle. You can feel it.

I too have had both, and the S-03 has a better overall feel and ride quality to it.
