Fitted to a TVR Griffith 500. Side walls are a little softer than the Bridgestone S03s they replaced but overall a very good all round performance tire.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What TVR Griffith drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Switched to these from bridgestone s03's and generally much improvement. they have a softer sidewall which suits the car much better and reduces the sensitivity to mid-corner bumps. The car is much more stable and forgiving. Break away characteristic is good with plenty of feel from the seat of the pants of what the car is doing.
Excellent price as well - woudl strongly reccommend

These tires are brilliant, it's a shame you can't get them anymore. The relpacement bridgestone s03 doesn't suit the griff as well and don't seem as good as the s02.
Very happy with these, a big improvement on the Goodyear SO3s I had before. Grip in the dry is excellent and I feel more confident getting the power down coming out of bends e.g. off a roundabout. Wet grip seems perfectly adequate, not really pushed it for obvious reasons. The biggest difference I noticed is that the softer sidewall seems more appropriate for the low weight of the Griff and the uprated springs I have. The ride is much less harsh which as well as being more comfortable also improved the handling and allowed me to reduce the damping quite considerably. The SO3s just seemed to introduce some horrible resonances unless I had the damping right up and then it felt like a track car on the road.
I can't comment on wear rate yet but unless it turns out to be terrible I will probably consider them again.

Very impressed....excellent grip wet and dry and nice and progressive breakaway. Little tramlining unlike other tires I have tried and took no time to bed in.
