In this case, I will prefer to go with P-Zero, you know... cuz, that yellow words on the side of tire... is just too cool!! but.. hey!! do we really care about how the tread looks?

You got that many miles out of the stock rears? You should have bought that Volvo! hehe Just kidding . If you purchase the S03's that are soon to come out, you probably won't have to buy tires....ever again...hehe. Oh yeah, make sure to take heed to the warnings, if you don't purchase the stock S02 (which is probably the best choice for the mileage you're getting), make sure to not get too hard a compound, and get the 245-45 size. Peace.

Thanks for all your input. Since I got such great mileage out of the S02s, I guess will just stay with those. That way the they will still match the fronts.

Now I have one more question....With all the discussion about the difference in tire width etc. How do I know that I am getting the right ones. I think I remember people saying that even though they ordered the S02, the tread pattern seemed to be narrower. Is there anything specific I should ask for to make sure I get the right ones?

Thanks again for all your help.

First make sure they are W (not Z) rated, and then you yourself should compared the tread pattern between them and your current stock tires before you have the new tires mounted on your rims. A search of past tire threads should turn up some pics that show the difference in tread patterns between Honda OEM S-02s, Porsche OEM S-02s, and S-02PPs.
