I have been driving(sometimes quite hard) for about 8000 kms.(+-5000 miles)on my ZRi,and they still look and feel brand new!

-Dry pavement:#1=SO2,all the way.
#2=SO3 and ZRi are about equal;I like ZRi better,because,more
predictables.

-Wet pavement:#1=ZRi by far.
#2=SO3.
#3=SO2,and if it's below 50*F.forget it.

You can buy two sets of ZRi,for the price of one set of SO2.
One set of ZRi will last you as long as TWO sets of SO2.

I don't like SO3,because they feel squirmy.

In normal driving situations,(city,highway.and twisties spirited driving)you are not likely to reach the limits of ZRi,and they feel safer,because they are more predictable,than SO2.

I said normal driving situations,on a rce track,SO2 would be faster(dry and warm weather.

My $.02.

Emil, I am sorry if I was not clear and upsetting you. I was thinking that there was some typos and would like you to confirm what you had in mind.

In summary, you like ZRi better than S03 in both wet and dry for normal driving. As a bonus, ZRi is about 1/2 the cost of S03 and last much longer. My car is MY04 and I do not track either, so that track tires are not applicable to my case.

Thanks for clarifying the comparison of these tires.
