Good luck,

When I bought new wheels and tires I did a lot of research and found that Bridgestone created a newer model of the SO2 to address the concerns that People were having with the SO3 on the 993's.
Its called the SO2a and has a newer tread pattern than the origional SO2 but still has the N rating.
So far I am very happy with them. The have more grip dry and wet than the POS Pirrelli Assemetricos that I had on the other wheels and seem to be a little better than the stock SO2 but I did not drive them back to back.
I am also running the 295's in the rear. (they look really FAT)

How well do the S-02As wear? How many miles can you get from the rears?
Your 360 is so schweeet!

I hate the temporary flat spots they get overnight. I have 15K miles on them and they still have a lot of miles left (mostly street and about 2 hours total track time). Hardly rains in San Diego so all of this is on dry weather. Would I buy them again: Yes.
