Default what is the differences between the potenza so3 and so-2

I am planing on getting a set very shortly but I dont really know the difference. going with a 235-40-18..

I think i'm going with so3 for better wear and hydro resistence

Default get S-03...

if not for any other reason, then for the fact that S-02 is an older design and is no longer made. So, if you buy a set now, and then damage one of them one way or another (pothole/bubble/flat), you may not be able to find a replacement.

Other than that, I think the S-02 may have a slight edge on dry traction/grip, but S-03 is superior in the wet, and lasts a bit longer. Overall, the S-03 is a newer, more technologically advanced design. Of course, not everything new is always better, but let's hope so ;-)

I don't think so, I'd bet you'll have to roll your front fenders at a minimum.

Default dunno. I think DigitalA4 had a similar setup and 235 was too much

look him up on the A4 forum.

It also depends on the offset of your rims. You may have to roll fenders, or add wheel spacers and roll fenders.
