I have just changed from the stock S0 2's to S0 3's at 12,000 miles ... has anybody else made this change? Comments?

 

The S03's are considered a good tire but you won't get the dry performance of the stock S02's. They're much better in the rain than the S02's however. Considering that you want a more forgiving experience, especially in the rain, you will probably be happy with them.

you should do a search
it will yield many results
that should appease you
