No more S03's

[The colonel]

Was told today that Bridgestone have finished producing the S03 and they won't be doing any replacement for 225/50/15 size :(

After much phoning around, a dealer in Reading found that 2 were sitting on a shelf somewhere in England with my name on them !! :)

Maye time to switch to Toyo T1R ?

V rated 71 quid each

Or blackcircles.com have Nexen N2000 225 50 15 V rated for 58.66 inc VAT which seem to have a tread pattern almost the same as my front SO2 PP's if you need to match a pair. Don't know if they are as grippy as the Toyos though.

I'm tempted by these Kumho's myself. Smaller section than you are after though.

It was the guy at Blackcircles that told me about the Bridgestone situation.

I see your point about the Kumho's Roger, they have a tread pattern I like - similar to S03.

I now have the replacement S03's fitted and metal valves so I am happy I got those.

Next the MOT on Sat - will I still be though!

I'm after some spare 15"s so let me know if you are getting rid of them.

Be sure to get 8.0 or 8.5" rims.
