Short answer long- My next tire was going to be the Kumho MXs, before I found out about the Neovas. I have never driven on the MXs, but from what I read and hear they seem to be a great tire.
When I bought the S03s, I had more disposable income and lived on the east coast where rain is more frequent than SoCal. Now with less $$$ and rain I would go for the Kumhos, over the S03s based on $$$ and over the Azeni based on weight.
I wish you were in San Diego, I could let you drive S03s and Azeni back to back to get an idea.
I am trying to sell my R84s with the S03s on them, but may have to split so I may sell the S03s (over half tread left) for $200.

thanks you have been very helpful

now where are those SSR pics everyone! :smile:

especially those GT7 pics

 

okay well I have decided to go with 16's. now i have to decide on silver or anthracite on my red/white MCS. unless another rim comes along and catches my eye that is very light as well. thanks for your help everyone, any more pics are still appreciated. And opinions on silver or anthracite.

 

I say anthracite - the crazy amounts of brake dust from the stock brakes won't be so visible

 

How many options are there? is there anthracite with polished lip? silver with polished lip? Both of those without polished lip? If so what are the differences in looks? I started looking all through the gallery but it was moving so slow it was painful. Don't know what it was, other sites were moving fast.

 

Silver w/ mcahiened lip

Anthracite with machiened lip

or

comp R Anthracite no lip treatment.

after deciding on 16's I went to a gallery on MINI2 and saw all these nice rims and it is making it tough for me to say heck with style and just get the SSR comps in 16. I haven't seen either silver or anthracite on a red/white MCS. The pictures on tire rack of the silver are in 18inch size so ofcourse they will look a lot better than my 16 inch. Ugh. I am the single worst decision maker on this planet. In fact I think I wrote that sentence a year ago in another post.

If you need good wet weather street traction, I hear that the falkens are slippy. My s03's are great, but the biggest reason I got them was that tirerack sells them. It is just too easy to order from these guys, and they always get it right, or make it right. Now if they would just carry azenis, I would by a pair today.

what size tires do you have uber?
thanks for photo i sent u a pm also.
i know this is asking a lot but do you have a photo that is more straight on? that one is at an angle and makes the tires look even smaller i think.

 

weaverpsu,

Per your PM request, here are some shots of my SSR GT1s (sorry it was a cloudy day here in Hawaii today) :

 

thank you. they are definitely sweet.
ah what to do, what to do.

 

>>thank you. they are definitely sweet.

really? I like the anthracite on dark silver and silver but on a red/white car i would think silver would be the way to go. why did you order the type C? post a picture when you put them on please.

yes i have seen them but thanks for the addition.
