Right, decisions, decisions, I can get hold of a pair of rear SO2's for my standard Chimaera, the fronts still have a fair few thousand miles left in them, now knowing that SO2's are out of production, and when I come to replace the fronts they will no doubt be SO3's do I buy SO3's now for the back or grab the last 2 SO2's?

Since Bridgestone think SO3s are an advance on SO2s and many TVR owners also now use SO3s with good results then I personally would got for SO3s.

However, if you're completely happy with the ride/grip/feel of SO2s then get them. However, I have noticed there are different flavours of SO2 for different manufacturers (on a screen a local tyre dealer - one SKU had Alfa Romeo next to it for instance). I don't know if this means the tyres are any different in their behaviour, but it might be worth checking.

You won't regret SO3's raceboy, have had them on the back of my Chimaera with 2's on the front and no worries - in fact really good tyres, you may as well get them I guess you will have to sooner or later.
