"'99 Civic, 17" rims. These were the first tires I bought with my wheels and I've had them about 15k miles. I love my Potenza S-03s to death. They stick very well, however it sometimes feels like they're slipping a bit, but they do stick nicely. When I hit puddles in the rain they shoot the water right out, they drag in a little, but mostly cuz they're just rubber bands on the 17s. They handle rain very good and are super solid tires. I've popped a curb and there is an inch size scratch in the tire, but no leaking! Very good tire, I would buy again without hesitation as well."

"Audi A4 1.8T Quattro. An incredible tire. At 26,000 miles am finally noticing some loss in traction during hard cornering. Looking to buy a second set very soon. "

"I own a 1997 C5 Corvette. I was looking for a better tire than the Goodyear F1 run flats. I heard good reviwews on the S03, but they are as bad as my worn out F1s. These tires are easy to spin. I would not recommend them. Those who like them must have cars with low HP and torque."

"'01 Audi 1.8T Quattro Excellent grip, wet or dry. I did numerous track events on these tires, and they were superb. 110+ mph in cold torrential rain w/out any problems in the braking zone. Outstanding turn-in on the track also translates into excessive tramlining on the street, however. I found that higher tire pressures helped (39 psi). Don't even *think* about using these in the snow."

"Rover 800 Vitesse Sport Turbo I have driven this car for 130,000 miles and these were the most expensive tyres I ever fitted. At first I thought that the expense would be worth if but when they were about 50% worn the grip just went away totally. A fabulous tyre when new but expect to change them long before you get to the wear ridge! Best tyres on this vehicle Toyo Proxes T1-S"

"As long as you don't use these tires when the temps go below 40 degrees, they're great. The most grip I've ever seen on street tires. Smooth progressive breakaway. Great turn-in. Excellent wet traction. Ride is a little stiff, but that can be expected. Noise and treadwear characteristics are acceptable. "

"Great traction tire in both dry and wet conditions. Feel like your riding the rails very tight and controlled . Do not even attempt to use them in the snow no traction no grip . Requires higher pressure around 36/37to get best performance. Very very poor treadwear only got 9000 miles and down to 3/32. no auto cross or racing. Very soft compound.expensive,used on BMW Z3M"

"I have a Dodge stealth r/t turbo around 400 hp at the wheels. even with the car being AWD (all wheel drive) if i punch it in a corner i slide VERY easy on dry pavement. These tires would be better for a low end, low power, mommies car. nuff sayed."
