On the tire

It has great performance nice grip predictable drift. The only thing I can say bad is after about 70% wear they get scary on wet roads, also I drive pretty easy most of the time and I have to replace rears (I'm doing it next week) at 9,500mi, but this is expected of a tire of this performance rateing and a tred wear of 140. When I need to put all 4 on I most likely will go to another tire one with a higher tread wear rateing.

They are good tires.. I personally went for something not quite as "sticky" for more treadware... I run Yokohama AVS ES100 s right now, and I really just can't kill them... they are great in rain, and normal everyday driving... If you want something reminant ot the stock S02s, go with the S03s or maybe even the Yokohama AVS Sports if you want a little more... Either way the stock tires are great, and unless your in a heavy rain area, or switched rims, I'd stick with the s02s

Dunlop s5000. Much better treadwear and all weather capablity. Not nearly as sticky, but that can make for fun driving also. About 100$ per tire.

Yokohama is a great choice, however I drive now in Estonia with Michelin Pilot Exalto and on dry asphalte is definetely better, I think, If you are not very sure on climate on your country, choose Yoko.

I agree - I am on my second set of rears (got over 15K miles on set 1) and have been pleased with the performance and price.

What do you feel is the stickiest tire you can put on regardless of wear considerations?
