Time is here to change the rubber around the S1.5 and I was wondering what peoples opinions on tyres were. My preferred option at the moment is to go for Bridgestone SO3''s, which will mean a small reduction in ride height due to them not being available in 60''s. Anyone any experience on running an ''S'' on SO2''s or SO3''s, Or what other tyres are people using. Cheers Mark

Wet weather use is a serious consideration for me as I use my car like you Peter for everyday use. I was speaking to the guys at Bracknell tyres and they were not fans of the Yoko's in the wet at all, good in dry but reports were poor for wet weather use. I did consider the Goodyear F1's, but they've given up production in this size due to lack of demand. Bracknell tyres suggested the Bridgestone RE720's as an alternative. They were big fans for both wet and dry use. They maybe not SO2's or 3's but I've not got the power of the later cars either. I've heard of no reports on this tyre. Tyres Online hasn't got a review either. Anyone used them ???? Cheers Mark
