Just make sure they have the code 'S02 JZ' and you'll be fine.
That's the Porch tyre. It's ES02JZ.

If anybody wants one of the rear Porsche S02s I've got one in my garage gathering dust.

Really excited cos I've just replaced my rear Bridgestone SO2s. Got plenty of quotes no problem and made sure that the dealers knew that I didn't want the Porsche ones as advised by Nick Graves. Didn't realise that I had been effectively driving on slicks, so this recent wet weather has been a bit more exciting for me than was necessary - just thought that it was normal having read of all the slippey slidey fun on this forum. Made sure they were inflated to the correct pressure. I believe that one should take care when bedding in new tyres. Any advice? Haven't got a Dad to organise a discount for me so paid

I wouldn't be happy with different front tyres to rear. How dangerous it is, I don't know. Depends how quickly you drive I guess.

Don't worry about it. Nothing wrong with S03s. Just get the right ones when they wear out. And as I tried to argue once before, the front and rear aren't the same anyway and you can't realistically keep the wear rates the same.

Mine had the Porsche tyres on the rear when I got it, and I replaced them with the right ones and I can't say I noticed any difference.
