I was looking over a tirerack ad in the latest issue of Road and Track and noticed that the RE050A Pole Position was the big ultra high performance tire listed. I was thinking aren't the RE050A's the OEM stock tires that people complained about?

Well doing some research I saw that the Pole Position is an entirely different animal...the Top of the Line designation to replace the S-02 and S-03. I still think the RE050A moniker is a marketing blunder since it's so familiar as a stock tire and a complained about one at that.

Has anybody used these tires? They have them in the common 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 sizes.

 

Those b@d @sses are OE on the Enzo. Treadwear 140. The PS2's I have now have a treadware rating of 220.

I have them in a 305/30/19. I haven't mounted then yet. I know it's going to be a sick tire.

NUMBER one high performance tire according to TIRE rack, higest customer rating too.

 

I just bought a set I'll let you know how I like them in about 2 weeks when I get to drive on them finally ...

 

i have them in 305, and they are good. i would say very comparable to the PS2s in grip, but not as quiet.......

 

I have them... and all I can say is that I LOVE them.. considering they are on stock Z 18 inch rims.. I am VERY IMPRESSED with the way they hold and grip.. and I was also supprised with the wet grip they have.. they are definately quieter than the stock RE040's I had. a bit pricy.. but I am sold on them and probably have nothing else on my car.. I can not say how long they will last yet.. (first set) with a treadwear as low as these I would not expect them to last more than 10k..

 

i bought a set for my TEs, and they are the best tires ive used so far. they are kinda pricy but well worth it. but next time im going to try out the RE 01r.

 

I thought the RE-01R were the the ultra high performance potenzas.
