Just an FYI for those folks looking for tires this spring.

Since Bridgestone can't be bothered to put a
picture of this beast in their release, here
you all go:

http://www.bridgestone-usa.com/press/S03_60.Tif

Save that to file and view it in the graphics
application of your choice... one nice tire I
would say. The only thing that makes me raise
an eyebrow is that the big voids that used to
extend to the edge of the S0-2 (to move water
out from the contact patch) are gone, the new
tire doesn't have these extending to the edge
of the tread. However... that big fat center
rib is going to make for some very crisp and
communicative turn-in!

They'll be pricey, but they'll be the best.

Wow, that was a rather large file. I see your point about the tread pattern - it appears that it wouldn't be as effective evacuating water, but I'm sure they have accounted for that by other means as wet performance is the current S02 PP's calling card. Too bad I've already oredered wheel/tires, besides May is too long to wait in MN - hey thats almost fall already ;P
