I have driven with the S-02's on the front of my Honda S2000 for nearly 8k miles. They had already covered around 10k when I bought the car so they have lasted very well. They grip extremely well in the dry giving lots of confidence when cornering. Wet performance is also very good as long as you don't push it too much on the tighter bends. Comfort is fairly good overall and the tread design looks great. Would buy them again but they are no longer available so I will now probably replace them with Potenza RE050A's.

Wear - They wear quickly, but there soft and grippy.
Comfort - If you want comfort have a bath
Buy again - If I could get them - BRIDGESTONE PLEASE MAKE SOME MORE.
The best bar non. Grip, feel, stability, poise is way better than any other. They also leave all others in the wet, they are just brilliant. The sidewalls are also quite stiff which is great as you dont get the movement like you do with lesser tires.
I have had five sets of these as well as trying Eagle F1's and various others. These nock them all into next week.

These tires are brilliant, it's a shame you can't get them anymore. The relpacement bridgestone s03 doesn't suit the griff as well and don't seem as good as the s02.

I can't really fault these. I've had these on my track mr2 turbo and have driven around 911s on trackday rubber! Bit hairy in the wet but that's probably because I can't get enough heat into them with my cambers.
Worn surprisingly well considering the abuse I give them too. Well happy.
