I need new rear tires.
Should I replace with S02s or S03s and replace all four to get the $100 mail in rebate?
Your input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Mok

 

I was told it's getting very hard to find S-02's now. I just ordered some 03's.

 

use the same tire model thats on the front.

 

It can't be too hard since I just ordered some rear S-02's from Tirerack yesterday and they've already been shipped.

 

The S03s have a much longer usable treadlife, and better all around street tire IMO. Have had three sets.

 

hey guys im about to order my S-03s will i be ok with 225/50/16 in front and 245/45/16 in rear?

 

Yeah that sounds about right. Just call Jim and talk to him. But the tire FAQ up top tells you what size you need. Now for the S-02 vs. S-03 your only going to save a few bucks with the rebate right now. Plus if you don't need the better wet traction then go with the S-02's thats what honda put on the car to perform the best.

Unless you have upgraded suspension, I'd go 205 up front.

 

I just had a 205/225 set of s03's installed and love them. Do a little research regarding size, this is an interesting topic (especially for the s03's). See my topic titled Fuzion problems, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

How is the handling difference from S02 to your current S03 setup?

S02 contact patch
7.1 front
8.5 rear

S03 contact patch
7.6 front
8.3 rear
