Thanks

180's as big as you want to go, Mike. Going down a size to 170, which has a smaller rolling radius, would help your S3 to steer a little quicker. If that's a consideration.

I have put a 180/55 on my S3. I didn't do any serious riding so can't attest to handling changes. I put it on because I was $broke$ and put a 180/55 race take-off from my XB racebike on it - but never rode it hard enough to get an impression. Yeah, that profile will supposedly make it turn in a little more sluggishly being .
