Default Replacement tires for '01 GS 430

I owned a '99 GS 400 and replaced the OEM Bridgestone RE030's with Bridgestone S02 Pole Positions. Those were great tires. I now have a '01 GS 430 and am wondering what kind of tires to go with this time around. I have the Z-rated 17" tires. Thanks for your input.

In particular, can anyone compare and contrast the following:
S02 Pole Position
S03

Talking

My vote goes/went to the Pole Position S03s; I've had 'em on for a couple of weeks now. Much quieter, no tramlining (VERY bothersome with the RE030s), actually more comfortable tire.

Has been too cold to really assess grip; "summer" tires don't like temps much below 40 F.

Thanks for the help. Just ordered some S03's from the Tire Rack. I'll post my opinions at a later date.
