Just been quoted £111 for an S02 PP at Bathwick.
Does that seem any good for a standard 16"?

I was also quoted £150 for the same from National.

Other price comparisons (if anyone's interested)
Pirelli P7000: £96 (Bathwick), £106 (Chessington), £100 (National)
Goodyear F1: £96 (Bathwick), £125 (Chessington), £170 (National)

None of the places I phoned had Toyo's

I was quoted £102 for SO2s and £98 for F1s at Micheldever. Cheapest otherwise locally was £120 for SO2s - likewise, Toyos were hard to find.

Well when you can pick up a 215/40/17z so2 for 120 quid i think that 111 for a 205/50/16 is a little high, keep shopping around, there are bargains to be had!!

Think I can better these prices!!

4 x SO3 (yes 3...due to be released next month) for nothing. Not a bean....

But then working for a tyre distributor does have its advantages... :P:P

Hi Paul
Long time no see!
I neede new tyres on my car (yes already) I rang around and ended up going to Mike Stokes tyres, in Ashley Road, I got a set of Toyo's fitted and balanced all-in for £340. which I thought was a damn good price, I rand them and they said that they sell loads of them, and they had them in stock.
I have now done about 2k on them and I would say that they are defo better than the original tyres, but then again when you go from worn-out to new its always difficult to judge.
I have also just had my car serviced at Millway cars in Wilton, and I was very pleased with the outcome, they also did the body service and undersealed the entire underside of the car, it looks like new again.

Hi Ron,

Was definitely after a set of S-02s. I was just curious about the other prices.
£111 was the cheapest I could find locally (must admit to not trying Mike Stokes).
Anyway's done and dusted now, and my wallet is £444 lighter.

So, are Millway cars an approved Subaru service centre - as in keeping your 3-year warranty intact?

Hi Paul
Yep Millway Cars are a main dealer and therefore warranty intact.
Just as a side topic would you be interested in a meet if we can sort something out locally?

Bridgestone update....

SO3 due for release in Subaru sizes probably now May. Prices likely to be very similar to SO2.

Hoping to be able to post a piccy here shortly. Suffice to say that tread pattern is very different to the SO2.

Anyone who's interested in prices / availability in the East Anglia / S Midlands / Kent / Sussex areas drop me an e-mail & I'll get back to you when the details become firmer.

Question

In reply to Huge...

It seems the best bet is the S02's, I had just decided to go for these and now a spanner in the works! these S03's!!! is it worth waiting, Is there any news on their performance, it seems that its going to take a lot to beet the S02's. Could you post a pic soon so we can see the tread pattern.

Cheers

Leon

Are SO3's replacing SO2's or are they a new line?
If new what use are they aimed at?
