Default Bridgestone SO2 N3's

After reading a few website i decided to buy 4 Bridgestone SO2 N3 Tyres for my S2000.
I know these are a porche fitment tyre. But can somebody confirm whether i have made a mistake or not!! The sizes are the standard (front 205/55R16) & (rear 225/50R16) and these are due to be fitted on Wednesday. If somebody has these on their S2k i would be keen to know if any good or not..
Thanks.

The Porsche OE tire is different. They are a much narrower tire than the OE Honda tire.

I have them on at the back wth OEM front S02's.

my conclusions: bit less dry grip, better wet grip, better hydroplaning resistance, more fluid transition on breakaway.

so not a bad tyre at all but I have only gotten 8000 km out of my rears untill replacement.

well after taking the car across the snake pass today and back with my new treads. I can honestly say these tryes are brilliant. (even if they are a bit narrower) but great fun!
