what would be your choice on a '03 (meaning 15 front, 16 rear)?

I read good things about the Bridgestone on various forums but what do YOU think?

personally the Yokos as I hated my Re040s

that said teh Yokos aren't great wet weather tyres

personally on your setup I'd use neither and go for Yoko Advan neovas

OMG!! The bridgestones require a lot of mileage to get warm!!!
If you do not travel long for your daily needs, do not get the bridgestones!!
Once I had them , I travelled for 20 minutes, and they still were not warm enough! It is a very hard/tough rubber.

The Yokos are not good in wet.
Anyway, I am not running when the road is wet so I have no problem.
But the main disadvantage of the yokos is surelly the wet, so when it's rainining the rear might slide very easily without you causing it!

Concluding, I have the yokos install on mine and I'm pretty happy when it's not raining!!
