I just wore out my rear OEM SO2s (standard on he car) I replaced them with Falken FK 512s - that was a big mistake as they were not either a good match for the suspension or the SO2s on the front or both.

I now have the new SO3 Pole Position all round and they seem to be about 95% of the OEM SO2 on performance and grip in the dry (I have not yet driven in the wet), plus they are still a bit new and will get better grip when they are a little worn so they might work out to be just as good a the OEM SO2.

Now I feel that I might not have needed to replace the front SO2s as the SO3 is a pretty good match. but I will keep them and use them later.

I hope this helps anyone to not have to spend money on tyres and throw them away 4 weeks later like I did.
