Nice tire, but there are better choices IMO. What are your priorities in it? wet, dry, reflexes, stability, ultimate grip, comfort, etc

edit: I thought you were talking about the regular RE050A, not the PP. I love that tire h:

i really like Continental ContiSportContact 2. it's summer compound but does very well in wet and it's super quiet. it's not the ultimate in dry grip but it's very very progressive when it starts to lose grip.

they must not take care of the tire or don't know how to take care of the tires.

I got nearly 40K out of my set and i corner enthusiastically... also that was on the 530i which is a lot heavier than the rsx

:werd: That was the opposite of the Potenza S-03 PP. Huge, huge ultimate dry grip but once they broke loose you better be quick on the steering wheel. Little warning until they snapped.

I'm still in love with the Goodyear GS-D3's h: I would buy them again in a heartbeat, I got more compliments on those tires than on my car (deservedly).
