Bridgestone SO3s are great tires. I have over 17K on them and they should easily go 23K or longer. No track, no racing, but I do the twisties of course when I can. They are not N-rated, but I do not feel this is too significant. They are good in the rain, good grip and even at 17K miles on them, they remain quiet. I have them on 17 inch wheels on my '99 Boxster.

I would recommend replacing all four at the same time, mixing front and rear is not really a good thing to do.

I had some Toyo Proxies on another car (Jetta), absolutely hated those tires, went back to Michelins on that one. I found the Proxies (at least in my case on the Jetta) to be awfully soft on the sidewalls. Plus they got really noisy later on. Last time I ever buy a Toyo tire. Of course your results could be different, there are people that really like them too I guess.
