My 99 Boxster is in need of new rear tires. Right now there are Bridgestone S03's all around. The front tires have almost half tread left and it seems like a waste to get rid of them. I was looking at putting new S02's on the rear and keep the S03's in front.

Has anyone done this and do you see any problem. My feeling is that since the S02's will wear quicker than the S03's, when the rears wear out, I will change out all 4. My thinking is that the S02's will provide better performance than the S03's.
