yeah, S-03s are pretty good for handling AND wear....
of course, its still a compromise, and by the same argument, just get Azenis and replace them every 6 months....that will eventually not be cheap, but they'll grip.

Actually, they're getting closer and closer to that goal, depending on how you define "good wear". The S-03's I have now would surely last a solid 30-40k miles if I didn't autocross on them, and they handle very, very well. As it is, I've got over 12,000 miles and 111 autocross runs on them (I keep a log just for kicks) on them in just over 13 months. They're not quite dead yet, but getting close.

16" tires aren't cheap. That's one of the reasons I'm sticking with 15's. S-03's are around $80 in a 195/50-15.
