Difference between Bridgestone SO2 & SO3?
I need rear tires for my 964t . I currently have the SO2's on all 4 corners. (The fronts are still in really good shape.) I cannot find a set of SO2's for the rear anywhere. So, can I just keep the SO2's on the front and run SO3's in the rear. Or should I replace all 4?

Tire Rack is still listing the S-02 in Porsche sizes. Did they say they didn't have any? If so, I would consider the following assuming you are looking for maximum dry performance:
Bridgestone S-02A
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KD
Michelin Pilot Sport Rib
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 - When available
Pirelli PZero System Asimmetrico

S-02A is a totally different tread pattern, not even resembling S-02. Good luck finding a picture as they were o.e. only. I think in 5 years with the company I can remember selling exactly 2 sets.

I have ahd the same issue on my 95 993. I run 03's on rear and 02s on front. The car came that way......
No issues other than the 03's lasted about 1 year maybe 1.25 including 4 DE events.
For me wet performance is critical due to location in PNW.
I am replacing all03's as treadwear dictates.
hope this helps
