You shouldn't have to pay that much for a tyre. They are rated OK but Chims and Griffs are very sensitive to tyre construction. I have no idea how rigid these tyres are. Just fit Toyo T1-R's. They are cheaper and IMO far better than SO3's, are real match for SO2pp's

No. Turanzas are not really suitable for sports cars. Bridgestone no longer make a suitable tyre although someone may still have an SO3PP in stock. As mentioned above Toyo appears to be a good choice. www.toyo.co.uk/index.php?fuseaction=car.t1-s although you might look at a GSD2www.goodyear.co.uk/services/tyreguide/feat_eagle_f1_gsd3.html
