I can certainly help you in comparing those 2 tires, as I have driven them head to head on many occasions. The S-02 is definitly the one that I prefer. It is a bit quicker on its turn in response and is definitly the better rain tire. Every time we have tested them I have gotten better autocross times on the S-02, both in the dry and wet (but the wet margin was bigger in favor of the Pole Position). If you are interested in chatting further you can reach me direct as always @ 800.428.8355 x395, thanks Aaron
