what do you guys think? The price for the SO3 is $170*4= 680
and for the RE 730 140*4= $560....
which one is the best for my money?
is the handling difference between these two tire is noticeable?
thanks....

They are both excellent tires. The SO3 will handle a bit better but will wear faster.
If you end up with the SO3 they like a bit more pressure than the 730.

FYI, I *LOVE* my RE730s on my BBSs. They are quiet, handle well in the wet and dry and most of all, last a LONG time....22k on my set and counting!

The RE730's won't dissapoint, I love em, not an exit ramp yet has let em break loose.

But it'll still scare the Hell out of my GF

The S-03 are very quiet and sticky. Not sure on how they wear yet.

I use the 730's and love them. I use them on my stock 15in. BBS. I autocross and do track events with these tyres. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

I ran the RE730s and found them to be quite loud after about 5k miles. I traded them for the SO-2 Pole Positions which, so far, are much quieter and much better performers.

I ran the RE730s and found them to be quite loud after about 5k miles. I traded them for the SO-2 Pole Positions (previous Pole Position version) which, so far, are much quieter and much better performers.
