Yes, I could, but if it's going on your 98 v6 coupe (which I am assuming is your car by your name), then he says that you're wasting your $$$$$. It's an expensive, overrated tire. He took them off his BMW because they were the loudest things he had ever heard- he hated them.
He suggests either Kumhos (at about $109 apiece) or his personal choice, dunlop sport fm901's (at about $119 apiece). He says by far they are the best performing tire in that size. 
He has had a bunch of civic drivers off of forums asking for that tire and they've all said its the best best best. Hope that helps! :thumbup:
Funny, I had them on my old Accord and they were the best performing tire I've ever owned. Quieter than stock and the Dunlop SP9000's I had on before that. No offense, but I'd rather trust tirerack.com than your boyfriend...and it's the highest rated tire on said website. 89% would buy again. I drive alot in the rain here, and that tire just plain kicks ass in the rain.
"On the road, the Potenza S-03 Pole Position provided a good blend of road comfort and responsive handling, appropriate for the max performance tire category. Although not compared side-by-side, the new tire road noise levels and ride comfort of the S-03 Pole Position seemed to lose a little ground vs. its predecessor, the Potenza S-02 Pole Position.
The sporting nature of the Potenza S-03 Pole Position’s road manners was evident on the test track. In the dry, the S-03 Pole Position offered a good combination of overall grip and responsiveness and was highly praised for its composure and exceptional grip under braking at the threshold of wheel lockup, giving it the slight lead in dry lap times. In the wet, the Potenza S-03 Pole Position really showed its stuff, providing a level of driver confidence under cornering and braking (and quickest lap times) that just wasn’t attainable with the other tires in this test."
So really now, what kind of a deal can he give me? I've pretty much shopped and shopped and shopped for high performance tires and decided on the S-03's. but thanks away, I appreciate it
BTW, I read some reviews on that Dunlop on tirerack and people seem to be saying they're extremely unstable at high speeds and dangerous (
