After doing a great deal of research I decided that my '99 Viggen would get a set of Yokohama AVS Sports. I up-sized to 225-45-17's.
The Yoko's can beat the Bridgestone's in the dry but are a not as grippy in the wet. From the press releases the Bridgestone S-03 Pole Positions won't be available until May and I'm sure they'll be at least as expensive as the S-02's, most likely more expensive. The Yoko's look like they'll be a good match for my driving and they're the available for significantly less money.
One thing that caught my eye was a tirerack review which stated, "After our day of testing on the track the Yokohama AVS Sport tires showed noticeably less wear, and more even wear than the other two tires tested (S-02's and Dunlop SP 9000's)."
I'll probably get the tires mounted this weekend and then I'll report back.
