I think it depends on how you drive. The other day, I went on a pretty agressive drive with pretty much new rears and almost wore out fronts. (All S02s) I could feel the front tires losing grip way before the rears. I would think this would be the same for different tread patterns and their grip. It all depends if you push your car to the point that the "weaker" tire gives. If you never cross that threshold, then you wouldn't notice anything.
Someone please correct me if I'm way off base here. I'm not a tire expert.

Call Jim @ 888-541-1777 Ext 364. He'll treat you right. You can't beat his prices.
As strange as it sounds S03's wear out in the center, you get less performance and less milage. Make sure you get the Honda S02, there is a difference from a regular S02.
Good Luck [/QUOTE
I'm having similar problems with the S03s. They perform well (especially in the wet) but are wearing no better than the OEM S02s and seem to be wearing out more quickly in the center of the tire. I'm going back to the OEM SO2s for my next set.
