...is what i said to my wife when she brought up the idea of getting tires at sears.. I said "theres no way they are going to carry anything remotely close to the performance tire that i need". So after no such luck on the internet, with the exception of tire rack, of which had the tires i wanted (bridgestone s-03 pole position) but had the shipping costs that i didnt want to pay.. i decided to make the wife happy and follow her down to sears just to be dissapointed. Well, to my great disbelief, the FIRST tire i see was the bridgestone s-03 pole position!! i was pretty dumbfounded, followed by my wife laughing it up in my face. So i was wrong, sears had the tires i wanted, and their price was 216$ a tire, at tire rack it was 200$ a tire PLUS shipping per tire which came out to about 18$ a tire.. for a total of 218$ a tire from tire rack. So i was already under what i would have paid if i had bought from tire rack (who has some of the best deals). On TOP of that, my wife is an employee, BAMB.. 10% off of the total, life cant get better. Walked out with 245/45/17 s-03's at a grand total of 884.xx, not bad. Story isnt over though, i go there today because of a mild vibration at freeway speeds, i brought it back in for a free tire balance, and what do i see on the s-03 display tire, a 10% discount sign.. i asked the guy at the counter if i could get the 10% discount even though i bought the tires already, and he said "SURE"! So i got really lucky, so minus the extra 10% discount, i got the tires for a grand total of 802.xx.. which means i got the s-03s for about 176.xx a tire! So i just felt i had to share this experience and let any of you tire shoppers know that the s-03s are on sale right now at sears. I still hear about it from my wife too, but i've got to hand it to her.

I was looking at getting those tires, due to the fact that I can buy through a family member also.



So, why dont you give us your impression so far. Stick with to OE or go with the S-03? what do you advise. Thank you

Do Evos make it to Hawaii before the mainland? or do they get dropped there on the way to the mainland?

humm, not really sure, i moved here in september and brought the evo with me, there are very few on the island. Theres about 4 at the dealership though, mainly because they are still charging around 40k or so still.

I just got my brand new so3's for $400 for all 4. but I have a very good hook up with the local bridgestone reps. As far as performance goes to me it has been a little hard to tell on the street. The tires seem quite a bit less noisy than the advans. If anything they may have slightly less stick than the stock tires.
