S03s are Bridgestone's new max performance tire. Very good in water.

SO-3's HANDS DOWN!
Don't skimp on $60 now, better tires will always give you better overall performance.
Good luck

get the 205. trust me. It's one of the best investments you will ever make. The wet water traction is AMAZING. and I can't even begin to tell you how sticky they are in the dry. I'd really suggest the 205 to give you just that much more contact patch for that much more grip. It's well worth the $110 a piece.

What car is it going on? If you have ABS, you should stay with the stock rolling diameter...

get Parada

205 is a nice size. I imagine they are going on a 15 by 6.5 wheel? 205 will give you a bigger contact patch then the 195 size. 205 is for 7 inch wide wheels more or less
