just ordered from Tirerack, think they are mad cheap on sale or something.
you should check them out, may not stay that way.
i got mine for 171 each, just didn't expect it to be so low in price.
S-02 poles used to run over 200 at tirerack for my size.

Re: I heard they are amazing...
They are amazing. They really transformed my car from the mediocre but loud RE-730's I had on it before. Amazing grip in the wet or dry, crisp turn-in, better ride, and they are actually pretty quiet.
Extra bonus - I get that "sound" over tar strips and cracks that is very close to the sound you get with slicks mounted.

I just recently put them on my Jetta. Seem very nice. Predictable breakaway at the limit, and very quiet. I'd buy them again. BTW, only $87/ea for the Jetta (195/50/15)!

Re: How's the Bridgestone S-03 Pole Positions?
I drove them at the limit on an ITR. stickier than the S02 and has fairly predictable breakaway. The wear is not as good as some of the other tires you've mentioned.
The S02 seems a little more predicable, although that was on a totally different car(E36 M3). But less grip than the S03.

Re: How's the Bridgestone S-03 Pole Positions? ...
... Great, and a big improvement in the ability to modulate brakes. [see braking follow-up of the link.]
The only problem is that they're very heavy, ~4 lb heavier than the tires they replaced.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/5405.phtml">S-03's on an S8</a></li></ul>
