I'm just relating a story as it happened to me, and my experience with the tire in question.
Hey Import Convert...you know what? I ditched my Potenzas! LOL. Seriously. Your post got me thinking and I started searching alternatives. Sure enough...there are much better alternatives to the RE-050A's out there. I ordered a set of Potenza S-04's. You're right...the Pilot Super Sports are pretty much the top of the line, but the S-04's run a very close second for about 30% less for the set ($800 vs $1200 at Tire Rack). My son's a Chevy service tech...he'll mount and balance them for free. All I need is four jackstands. Tires will be delivered Monday.

The OEM tires come out at the bottom of this list, although they're the most expensive tires on it....

I just need to find a buyer for my OEM tires with 4 miles on them...
