i think they are replacements for the S03's that phased out a few years ago.

The RE050A's will probably be used on OEM's for a while, but stores will probably phase out the RE050A PP's to make room for the S04's.

Thanks for the info on the RE050 pole positions. Still deciding if the discontinued (dropped price) on the RE050 Pole Positions is worth it versus the S-04's. My research continues on the other question.

ive been using RE050A PP's on my G35C. they are good tires.. actually my favorite so far. :)

Yeh, I heard you state this on another thread that these (RE050 Pole Position) were going to be your next replacement, then I heard you pulled the trigger on the Continentals. So then a toss up between Pole Positions and Continentals. RZC (Raul) has been informing me that RE-11's would also be good even with my wide spacers. So now I am looking into Pole Positions, S-04's and RE-11's.

Trying to keep up on the new tire threads popping up before I open the one billionith thread on tires. Thanks for your feedback I have been following your lead.

Yah, for the stock 19's im going to get the RE050A PP's; the weds 19's have the conti's.
wasn't a bad choice at all, but I prefer the response of the Potenza's and the sidewall design so after im done with the Conti DW's its S04's in stock sizes. :)

i dont know how different these tires are from the s03s, but i recall them having a different compound at the 60% wear mark. when your compound switches over, you will feel the car being worse than on slicks. it was just a weird quirk. other than that, i loved the s03s. i think these will get you 20k to 30k miles? i know the re11 is more of a 10k miles tires

Any update on your thoughts about these tires op? Im about to pull the trigger and purchase thses tomorrow. Im getting these instead of the re11 since they are on backorder everywhere.

onzedge 04-19-2011 09:06 PM

I put 250 miles on my Pilot Super Sports today (in the rain/drizzle this morning and clear this afternoon). These are excellent tires, beyond doubt. They stick like crazy and seem significantly quieter.

Looks good, waiting for a full review on the other thread. Looks like a rim protector lip on the tire, I like.
