Bridgestone S-03 or Toyo T1-S?
Hi,
I need some feedback on the the S-03 and T1-S? Need to get new tires for my GS 245-4517 and wanted to know how these tires rate in these areas?
Road noise
Wet pavement traction
Treadlife (how many miles can I expect to get on these tires? Do a lot of highway driving.)
Finally, any other tires I should look at that are comparable?
Thanks,

S-03's are very stiff, so a rougher ride than the Toyo's. I've had both. Like GS4Will said, the Dunlop SP9000 is a good tire too - I have those now and really like them. (On 19's though.)

Currently riding on 245/35/20 & 275/30/20 Toyo T1S. Only heard (haven't proven it myslef, just installed) about relatively long thread life. But they are on the noisy side, compared to Dunlop SP Sport 9000.
Thread pattern looks cool compared to Dunlop.
I don't think there's any issue regarding wet traction, but I rarely drive my car hard.

guys , there is a new player on the block
goodyear f1 gsd3 this tire was rated the best wet tire ever made , no tire noise whatsoever, no tramlining none because of the tread design , and bro's when i tell you comfortable
and almost a 300 treadwear means pretty long lasting
they stick like glue on dry as well
i have them and as compared to the so3 on my 18in setup , these are more comfortable on 19in set up and the so3 after about 5k are so loud you cant hear yourself think
i did one whole day of research before buying them , reading independent tests done and also reading from goodyears own site and they are made in germany so plenty of testing ground "the autobahn"
best tire i have ever bought
