Bridgestone S02s
Discussion
Don't be fooled. They are SO2's not SO2pp's, they are a harder compound. Sorry to spoil the moment but I had some of these a few years back and found they were bl00dy awful on wet or green roads. I disposed of mine after a few months and fitted Toyo's instead. Toyo T1-R (with a couple of psi over book pressure) is as close as you can get the glory days of SO2pp.
I also ordered some from my wife who worked at a Chain of dealerships , Honda use them and so did Porsche on the boxster.
They are a very different tyre as i found out , first no rim protector so look pants and the belting in very different and is meant for heaver cars .
I was told by people who know that they are likely to chuck you off , i would there advise you send them back as i did and find some nearly new S02 Pole Position in the classified , there was a bloke selling 4 new in rappers Pole Position S02 which is what they are . They also used none Pole Position S02' on early Griff's but again these are different to the other fore-mentioned tyres.

I also live in the Wakefield area. I have enquired at Motorworld on Northgate re. Toyos. If you are looking for a couple of tyres then it is worth giving them a shout.
They usually have special deals on so might be able to save a few quid. They are also open to a bit of negotiation. If you have a bit of tread left, then you could hold out for the offers they have from time to time.
Worth a punt.
