Mark Stanton Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 There are still a few folks with Bridgestone S02's but getting them from stock is now as rare as hens teeth. The S03 is not a direct replacement and to be avoided Next common choices are Toyo Proxes, Yoko 539 any advance on those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickieB Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Yoko 539s If you're really keen, buff then down to 4mm (or 3mm if you're really really keen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard M Green Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Yes, but it really is only necessary to buff the tread - no need to buff the sidewalls like Dickie did at Mallory!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu.graham Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 I was looking at the Yoko 539 or the Bridgestone RE720, as Mr Stanton says the SO2 are like rocking horse s**t Any one any comments on the RE720? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 If the 15" RE720's are the same compound as the 13 inchers, they should be OK. Buff 'em to 4mm though........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickieB Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Yes, but it really is only necessary to buff the tread - no need to buff the sidewalls like Dickie did at Mallory!!! Ah yes, but I also buffed the bodywork, chassis, radiator, suspension, steering and a whole host of other bits Didn't buff myself at all though Dickie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
