Potenza SO3
Just got the SO-3's from tire rack. Want to contribute as I have gained mucho knowledge from here. Been trolling for over two years. 04 w/ 56K miles. This is my 4thset of tires, 15mpg avg.
The best tires Ive owned have been the re040's. In order of best, RE040's, TKDW's, toyoproxy's (suck), and TBD so-3's.
The SO-3's seemto be very week in the side wall. I was told they were OEM for the ZO6 corv. Feels like im floating on air. 129$ a piece is pretty good though. maybe the guy mounted themwrong?
I think the side wall stiffness is what makes or breaks a tire for this car. I wish they made a tire like the BFW T/A KO All terrain. Anyway, hope ive helped.

daaaaaaaaang,
Cant believe that. You must get 20+ mpg too. I did keep my front tires on the last batch.
NoIve not been to a meet. Maybe the next one. I honestly dont believe you have 33K on oem tires. I barely got 12K. But Im still one my original engine
After driving 100 miles on them they definetly are not a good tire for this car. I can actually feel the car play catch up when I turn..
