It's gotta be the S-02 as it is quite inferior to the S-02A and the PS2.

Went from SO3 TO SO2A...SO2A is a superior tire. quiet with a very strong sidewal unlike the very noisy SO3...what it boils down to is driver preference but having compared the S03's to SO2A...its nite and day...

S-03s and PS2s are very similar. the PS2s feel a bit stiffer which i like. it's all splitting hairs. Both the best street tires you can get in the dry and wet.

They may be the best selling tire, but that doesn't mean they are well made.
The sidewall failure is a known problem with this tire.

Take a look at these pictures from the M3 Forum::
