Default Bridgestone Pole Position?

I went into a local tire dealer to price a set of Pilot Sports for my new Z06 chrome repos and they tryed to get me interested in Bridgestone Pole Position tires. I must admit they looked very impressive and had a ridge that flared out to protect the wheel against curb damage.
Has anyone had any experience with these I would like some feedback.
:)

I just bought Pilot Sports. Would have bought the Bridgestones, but they are not available in the Z06 sizes.

A truly amazing tire. I'd buy them again in a snap. Everyone thinks by going to BRidgestone they are getting a second rate tire but they are the leaders in F1 technology right now :yesnod:

I am no tire guru, but Tirerack.com has tested these head to head. feedback is good for both, but I felt SO3 had the edge, check it out yourself. I know they are cheaper too. I have only had mine on for a few weeks but I love them.

:cheers:

If I stay with stock sized wheels, I will be going with the S0-3's. They are the best buy for the money. If I go with 18's all around, then I'll probably end up with Pilot Sports or G-Force KD's.

I know the PP S-02's were rated very well, but how are the S-03's in comparison?? Assuming they are the same may be a mistake.

The PP S-02's are disco'd I believe.

My next set of tires will be a set of S-03 Pole Positions. They are VERY highly rated and are reasonably priced as well.
