Default Is Bridgestone coming out with the S-04?

In the current Quattro Quarterly, they have an ad (sorry, don't have the issue in front of me, so no page number - somewhere around the upcoming model discussions) that pictures an S-03 and then what looks like it might be the next S-04. I just checked on Bridgestone's website, but didn't find anything like the new tread pattern, and their news releases from the past few months don't mention it.

Anyone know any details?

Wow I hope so! Then prices on the S0-3 will drop. I couldn't find anything about a new S0-4.

Default I noticed that too....it was like a mirror image, but different tread. Didn't look as good to me.

It just didn't seem as aggressive. But I guess the PS2's don't have the "cool", aggressive looking tread like the pilot sports do....you got me.

Default Did you cross check that tread pattern against their existing offerings?

I saw that ad...just seemed like another one of their existing tires...like a watered down S03 or something.

Default Yes, I did. I didn't see one like the ad. Almost looks like the S-01, but...

the tread blocks on either side of the center tread in the ad connect on the insides, while the S-01 keeps them distinct from each other.

The ad is on Pg22 and it looks like it says S-02A on the sidewall.
