Try Les Schwab. They're the big Toyo dealer around here.

oatzel

he just won't listen to us, will he?

IIRC $142 each plus shipping.
Les Schwab is the only local shop carry them, and they rip off people. (quoted me 1080 for a set of 225/45/18)
Toyo offer 40day trial program.<ul><li><a href="http://www.treadepot.com">http://www.treadepot.com</a</li></ul>

the heavier S6 with it's larger wheelbase and track work okay with the S-03's.

The S4 is a constant fight that made me so unhappy I would do anything to get the Bridgestones off immediately. I just sold the car a bit early of the RS6 delivery instead of changing the crappy tires out.

I was tired of looking like I was drunk driving at freeway speeds down I-5.

The Nero ran faster lap times than the S-03 in the wet and the dry. Edged out the S-03 for the subjective ratings in the dry and was pretty damn close in the wet. That, and they weigh 3 pounds less per corner than the S-03's and cost less.

I might be able to get you a cheaper deal than their street quote going through my company.
I know it hurts but give em a call.

...here is a summary:

T1S = lighter
S03 = wider

S03's tramline bad, especially with age

Dry grip I'd say is equal
Wet grip might have an edge to the S03
Noise I'd say is equal

I like the extra width of the S03, but I'll take the T1s for weight savings and less tramlining on my next set of tires.

so I'll see how these are.

mpwolf

so what if the S-03 is wider? Performace isn't a measure per unit of width.

If they're comfy and quiet with still decent performance, as advertized, then I'm probably going to get them next.
