Just some quick feedback on the R050A Pole Position tires.....THEY STICK!

Being pissed off at the size (265/35/18) I’m determined to wear these things out ASAP. I've driven about 150miles on them since yesterday tossing and turning and the freaking tires STICK! Not once have I been able to "cut them loose" on a corner. So far the tire is great however I still want my 285/30/18s back for the "cool effect"

Oh and I’m still hoping one of you guys can help me out in obtaining the exact size differences between the Bridgestone S-03 285/30/18 and the Bridgestone R050A 285/30/18.

Thanks for listening.

~James

James, here is your tire spec comparision. I could not find the S-03...only the S-02's:

Hey Peer...What tires are you currently running at 285/30/18? Also what is the offset of your wheels?

Bmussatti thanks, but I don't think the S-03 and S-02 are similar tires. I know that even the S-02 and S-02A differ a lot so I wouldn't expect either to be similar to the S-03.
