Hi sammy,
Fitted a set of so3s onto an r33 V-spec recently, replacing a set of S02s and am having a similar problem with wear. Haven't even taken it on a track and with 7k (commuting!) miles already they are getting close to the limit. I think they must be a very soft compound.
Be warned though, once they get 3/4 worn they will go off very quickly as I am told the heat cannot dissipate properly from a tyre of that width and hence they tend to cook themselves towards the end. I will be trying something diferent next time as although the dry grip is fantastic they have let go once or twice in the wet when I would have expected them to hold the line, suggestions?

Cannot find the details of the Evo survey, anyone have a summary?

Max.
