i recently fitted a set of bridgestone re050a its 225 40 18 they are fantastic they it rode softer, quieter and grips whole lot better then the stock dunlop sport sp that came with my stock Denvers, the ride quality has improved significantly given my full h&r suspension kit.

I have them on my Liberty, best damn tyres I have ever had

Mine came fitted with Pirelli 205/55 R16

I feel sorry for you... I have them on my R. They're ok... but not fantastic.

I've had Yokohama AD07's for a while - awesome tyre once they've warmed up. The new AD08's come in a 235/35/19 - if mine comes with rubbish tyres I might give them a go.

i'd rate RE050A as one of the top 10 tyres available in Australia. Having driven Dunlop SP Sport, I can understand why AZN007 is a happy camper.

2 points on RE050A:
They need heat in them.
They reward smooth driving.

I rate them as well, great in the wet and dry, and very communicative. My only criticism is about their tendency to wear the outer shoulder block prematurely and the replacement cost.

I guess I prefer a "top 3" tyre rather than a "top 10" tyre

I found it surprising that the RS5's a mate had the other day came fitted with the dunlop rubbish on 20's that my R has as well. WTF is going on over there in Germany!

[Corey_R]

BMW and Merc probably have more expensive contracts with Conti than VAG do.... and Germany probably don't like using Goodyear cause that's American! hehe
