Personally, I think the T1-S probably looks and performs the best. Many others feel the same about the S-03; it's a great tire as well.

those were toyos they do have strips of color in them for whatever reason(probably wear indicators), these are the bridgestone D1S whatever...

hard to take photos of the back tires, but both look the same basicly.

Performance >>>>>>>>>> Looks

I have Potenza S-03's as street tires (275/40R18 in back). I don't give a rat's *** what they look like, but they perform very well on the street (and not too bad at the track either), so I'm happy.

Well, personally, i don't think you should be buying tires based on looks. But the S-03's look pretty sick to me. I just got a set for the rear and they look much more agressive than the stock Pilots

Agreed. But my AVS Sports looked like cut slicks. I thought that was real sensual.

How did your AVS Sports perform? Dry/wet traction etc.

Thanks

Na - The SP9000 is the best looking - and the best handling tire.

They performed very well. Dry traction was outstanding, wet traction is good, although I never pushed it too hard in the wet, not without TCS. Plus they wore pretty well; I had I think about 8000 miles on them with not much treadwear at all.
