Has anybody tried the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Positions? I'm interested in your opinions if you have, I'm highly considering these tires.... they are rated high over at Tirerack.

Thanks in advance

I replaced my runflats with them. I don't drive that hard so I can't really comment on their handling at extreme conditions. But I can say they were quiet and smooth, and I was much happier with them than the runflats. After a considerable power addition I decided to replace them with something bigger for traction and looks. If you are interested in a set with about 5000 miles on them maybe we can work a deal.

Thanks for the offer 3rd Childhood.... but I think I'd rather buy em new.
I'm debating between the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Positions, Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's or the Goodyear GS-D3s, havent decided on which. I've read many reviews on the others, havent heard anything on the Bridgestones.

The guys at CCW spoke highly of the RE050s, and they come in that 305/30 19 that is so rare. They are over 33% cheaper than the Pirelli Rossos and the Michelin PS2's.

I have them and thus far, they every bit as good if not better than the rest. Grip, handling and deflection is amongst the best.
