My next AutoX is on the 29th
I have a new set of Potenza S03's sitting in my truck.

On the car are the stock Dunlops w/ 13k miles on them.

I feel that the Potenza's are a stickier tire.... but they are new ... and will have thick tread ....
Will I be better off w/ the older Dunlops, or the new Potenza's ???

I'm pretty split on this... so any feedback will be much appreciated. Thanks

Were you planning on installing the new set *soon* anyhow?? if so, just put 'em on already. may not make a huge diff. in your times, but you might as well start getting used to them if you're going to be running them for a while.

Wear the S-03's for about 500 miles before the event if you choose to use them.
Otherwise, are the Dunlops still fine? Are you a front running contendor or simply having fun? If fun, then finish the Dunlops.
