Is it a $100 rebate on each tire or a set of four? I'm looking at the S-O3's.

LMAO, on each tire. you fucking nuts??

Haha, yeah, I would stock pile them if they are 100 a tire .

That is still 25 bucks a piece pretty good deal.

I heard that Bridgestone SUCKS!!

I know Ferrari is the official test team for them, but unless you get the really expensive ones, THEY SUCK!!!

Just my .02 cents

While I can appreciate you're just adding your opinion, your input isn't terribly constructive. What have you heard and from whom? I ASSUME you have something more to add about the old S-02 and the new S-03 given you strong opinions?

I note the S-03 is rated third at Tire Rack:

Just because Bridgestone doesn't make a tire for your moped doesn't mean they suck

Bridgestones are actually one of the better tires we've dealt with. Aside from the quick wear, both the Potenzas and Turanzas do an amazing job. The only tires that come close are the Michelin Pilot Sports.

You can keep your 2 cents...not sure how you'd get .02 cents anyway. My RX8 is outfitted with some pretty serious Bridgestone rubber and I have to say it grips pretty damned hard in the wet and in the dry, pretty confidence-inspiring actually. I'm not sure where you're getting your info, but I wouldn't sneer at them just yet.
