Tire Traction Temperature Treadwear
RADIAL POTENZA S-02 PP AA A 180
RADIAL POTENZA S-03 PP AA A 220

On paper both tires received the highest traction rating the DOT offers. The S-03 appears to last a little longer. Does anyone have any tire mileage data for "normal" driving conditions (i.e. without 7000 RPM clutch dropping burnouts)?

We'll I have had the S03's for about 2,500 miles. Great tires that are quiet, handle great and give complete confidence in the rain butttttttttt the S02's seem slightly better in the corner's for a decent driver. Maybe in the hands of a professional the S03's handle better but after driving two sets of the S02's for 28,000 miles they hold the pavement so we'll it makes over confident at the limit. If you do the same thing in the S03's the rear comes out very quickly. A little scary the first time you take a corner too fast and you lose the rear end.
