Also, IMO the S03s are the best looking tire I've seen. I was at a tire shop awhile back and saw some Bridgestone tires and just flipped over the look of one of them and thought that was real hot, meaty and aggressive tread, and also looked so good from the side view. Than I noticed they were the S03s! I'm in love! Just wish they were lighter. I guess you can't have everything. Minihune says he did not notice any difference in the extra weight. Of course he's got an MCS and I have an MC, but still.............. hmmm. 
I think you should skip the Toyos then.....

They are a little heavier than others, but I've heard are wider than others of the same width, so that could account for much of the extra weight. I've been a big proponent of light tires and wheels (as are others here, i.e., minihune), and I have wanted to get Toyo Proxes T1S as they are one of the lightest performance tires. I may try the S03s (as I live in the NE) when my current tires wear more, as I can get them with SSR Comps from TireRack, whereas TireRack doesn't sell Toyo's. :smile:

I donno, the ToyoT1's to me are like Nitto NT555 tires....they look good
and are light weight, but grip is questionable. They seem to be more
progressive in their slip than nittos so probably more predictable.
minihune- You have too many wheels and tires. :smile:
