Default S03PP or T1S?
Have read lots of good comments here on the S03PP, but in the comments on the TireRack website, many people complain about tramlining on grooves (one person described as tramlining violently) and bad behaviour on rutted roads.

Given stock suspension, is this a problem on the S4? Would the Toyos be a better choice?

Default The toyo's I've been in are loud!
The SO3's ride plusher and grip surpasses the T1-s...As for tramlining, I barely notice it on my car and I have 225/40/18's..Go with the SO3's if you can....only thing that sucks on the SO3's is the treadlife...

...and the S-03's are very quiet and ride very smooth. I was very impressed!

Had the s-03s put on today, just before a "quick" drive in the rain. Nice....

Default The set I drove on had a few hundred miles and was QUIET...
...MUCH more quiet and smooth than Yokohama AVS Sports or Michelin Pilot Sports and probably in the ballpark of Pirelli PZero Rossos and RE040s.
