I have been through three sets of s02s now and need to replace the rears again. Two questions to the users please.

one: I've only driven the S02s and have always loved them. I'm in Alabama so no snow, drive 10 miles of backroads to work, very little hwy miles. So stick with something I'm happy with or go to something else? I like to tread pattern, I like the grip - don't want to comprimise there. Would like a few more miles (getting 10k?) but don't want to comprimise grip. - Comments?

two:I probably have 40% left on the front - but will probably replace all 4 - worried that on that one corner, the heat cycled fronts would let go before the new sticky backs - and I'd wish I would have just done all 4. Reasonable fear or should I get the wear out of the fronts and postpone their replacement until the wear bars say so?

Direct replies appreciated to Bikeman@InLine.com as I don't always get a chance to check out the page.

Thanks!
