Hi All,
I finally got my Evo II wheels from Bekkers and my Bridgestone S-02 Pole P. 245/45/17 from Luke at tirerack on my 500E. Thanks to list for the collective wisdom! I went for a break-in ride up in the hills today - great tires. Not as much steering feel as the Michelins, but I'm pretty sure I went faster (maybe because these are wider). Even though these are plus 1 fitment I think I feel the bumps less than with the michelin pilots xgt. The Evo II wheels look great on the 500E. I'll try and snap a picture for you guys. Eric |

Hi Eric,
I'm most of the way through a set of S-02's. You should enjoy them quite a bit. They are equal to the Pilot Sports in the dry but are better than anything I've driven (XGT's included) in the wet. Very predictable at the limit. They do feel very light (give a lighter steering effort) than some other tires but they do their job very effectively so it just takes some getting used to. Keep an eye on the tread shoulders in front and the tread center in the rear. Adjust pressures to keep the wear as even as possible. Rotate every 5-6K miles if you can. Hope this helps...Lee |

And when they wear out you can buy Pilot Sports ;-)
