Help! Bottom line on new tires...

Ok. So what's the bottom line?

S02's
S03's
PS2's

Which is best tire, in your guys opinions, for what i'm looking for in this order of importance.

1) Road noise and comfort
2) Dry traction
3) Wet traction
4) Wearability

Or is there another tire I should consider.

Going on a '99 C4 Cab, supercharged, with Ruf 18's.

Thanks in advance for your guys thoughts on this subject.

Thanks for the replies.

I've currently got the S02's on now, but keep hearing about how great the PS2's are.

Those who suggested PS2's, have any of you run the S02's before, and/or switched from S02's to PS2's?

Thanks again

I previously had SO2's.
I noticed that the road noise increased tremendously as the tires wore down.
I decided to go with the S03's after reading, asking, etc. (Tirerack.com is great complementary resource)
Anyway, I've put in approx 800miles on the new S03's and love them.

99 C2 w/18inch wheels

Good luck -
