I'll have to go back and try the new pilots next time then. As I said, when you plow right into a curb, making $4000 damage (that you pay out of your own pocket) because your tires don't want to grab the asphalt, you kinda get a little jaded.<br>

Folks, still too soon for me to provide a true and honest assessment of the SO-3's, but now that I've almost completely broken them in, dropped the air pressure to 40psi, with the next step down to 35 where it'll stay, I can already see how nice these will be. Driving the 'hot turns' I'm used to driving, at the speed I'm used to driving them at to make me consider them 'hot', are basically boring and uneventful with the SO-3's already. I have to find their limits.<br>
<br>
I'm curious how many miles I'll get out of them though. Hawkcarl, was that 32,000 miles on the ORIGINAL tires? Wow! I'll buy the C43 used from YOU! I was through my original Pilots in 15,000 miles! The rears were almost SLICKS! <br>

(also, I believe you may wish to do a little research. The Potenza SO-3 Pole Positions are arguable one of the very best 'ultra performance' tires on the road today - equal if not better than the Pilots - i.e. 'arguably' the best.)<br>
