The S02 are hard to find, if you want to use another tire look here for comparison. Please make your review of your current or past tires

THe S02

very good on dry road, very sticky, not very noise, on the opposite i must have to tell that on wet road is not very good and you have to drive carefully becasue is easy to spin on some, duration also are not very long but traction and duration are opposite qualifications.

Dunlop SP 9000

I did not like it, they are better than the s02 on wet road, but that is it.

The S03

Amazing, the are as good as the s02 on dry road and even better on wet road. they are a bit more noisy than the S02, the best subsitute for the S02

Got the DUNLOP SP SPORT 9000 * 225/40-18, and must say that thet are not that bad at all. There is always better, but where does it ends...? I am a regular driver and don't have much to say about these tires, sorry folks Anybody else...?

My car had Dunplop SP9000s installed when I bought it used. I had my only car crash (in rain) ever with them on. The car went into a deep puddle and spun around instantly.

Tyre life on the SP9000s was really good though. The fronts lasted over 30.000km including a year's worth of track driving. Rears, well....

I found a used set of S-02s and installed them, then took the car to the track... BIG DIFFERENCE! Dry handling is much higher and grip is more controllable. Squeal is a lot less, so you'll have to "listen" more carefully to the tyres to see how they're liking the road.

I'm not noticing very high tyre consumption with the S-02s at all, even with their low treadwear rating. I don't do smoky burnouts or clutch dumps, though.

Stick with S-o3's they are the best. First I had michelin pilot sport but they were not as good as the bridgestone's.
