Default Why S03 Over S02?

I am debating this one with my dad over which tire to go with. According to the various posts I've read, the benefits of the S03 are better wet weather, more durability, quieter.
What about driving, dry weather grip, handling, etc..
I don't think my s2 will see wet weather (if it does, it's by accident).
I read the email as well, and I'm still puzzled. Need to order tires pretty soon..
Still waiting on someone with a discount.. I need to do pizza delivery with the s2000 just to afford them

The car was designed with the S02s in mind. They are much stickier and softer than the S03s. However, they wear out much faster as well. If your car doesn't see much wet weather, I'd go with the S02s.

On our last route 26 drive, some one fron Cinci had them on the rear only. He could tell they we not as sticky and was going to go back to S-02's

DOH. Maybe I should have done a little more research. Had I taken the time to actually look in the forum section, I would have noticed that there is a specific section for tire questions. Sorry to put an uncecessary post.
PS. I'm going with S02's. (although it sucks that they are more expensive).

Someone find me a tire deal!!!

Contact Jeff at Ganley (hardtopguy). I think he has access to discounts.
