i really don't know much about them. i just run what the bridgestone man tells me to
i'm actually thinking about not running the superstock classes anymore and just doing the forumla races... which allows me to run slicks. assuming they have slicks in our sizes.

003 is definitely better tire for track but probably doesn't warm up as quickly on the street as the 16s. Other than that the 003s are a better tire overall. I'm waiting for the BT003 R/S to arrive (hopefully in early June) It's a more "streetable" version of the 003 (R/S = racing / street) and comes in sizing that correctly fits our rims. (110-70-17 front , 140-70-17 rear). They should have better tread life and more grip in the wet than the 003s, plus you wouldn't be mixing different tire models for front and rear, which might not be the best way to go.
