The RE050A Pole Positions also seem to be an upgrade over the standard RE050A's.
.

Are the pole positions quieter than the normal ones, or do they simply perform better?

And yea PS2's are awesome if you have the coin. I had a chance to flog an IS-F on a track and the PS2's were incredibly grippy.

Like I said before, Falken Azenis RT-615's for me!

The 615's are pretty decent for the price....they are a little snappy for my taste though. I've been running them for a while on my current STI and used to run them on my old STI too.

Going to go with something like RE01R's, PS2's, Neovas or if they make the right size RE070R's for the street...

Even the RE070's on my old STI were pretty awesome...

I've run both and didn't notice much of a difference in terms of noise.

I've also run PS2s and thought that the RE050A PPs offer similar performance at a lower price point.

Any one have experience with the Potenza G 009 I had them put on because they were having a deal that was cheaper than the Toyo Proxes 4. I currently have them on my 2000 T-23 and I was thinking about swapping them on to my finacees 92' camry. I have them wrapped around some Motegi DP-6 rims. Not a bad rim, kind of looks like the TE37. Anyways I will be swapping TE37's on to the 370Z, but I am wondering if the Motegis and G 009's are worth saving for the Camry, or leaving them on the Celica when I sell it.

Peeople seem pretty familiar here with Bridgestone, so I thought I'd ask.

Thoughts?

HAHAHA!!! I'm going to burn through these tires soooo fast! :D

I'll replace them with Nitos! My 555 DRs were OK for the price, but I'll end up putting either NT-01s or NT-05s. I gotta have grip. I drive my car only 300 miles a month, so I'm going to have FUN when I DO drive it!

My Trans Am had Nitto 555 Extremes on the front and 555 DRs on the back. MAN that car got grip!
