Damn that's a good deal! Wish I had had my puncture now instead of in June—I would've replaced all four original tires.

Lets see, the RE050A is on... AMG cars, M series cars, Legacy GT spec B, MS6, ect... with very good results.

... there is also the RE050A Scuderia tire, its on the Ferrari Enzo...

you may wish to keep your trap shut unless you actually had these tires

Hi, everyone. I heard a lot about tire rack, I have tried hundreds of time to open its webpage. But every time I tried, it said:
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /tires/tires.jsp on this server"
Is anyone can help me out or it's their problem... Thanks

It is my personal opinion that these tires suck.

I don't care what cars use them as OEMs.

If you disagree,m I don't give a ****.

Have a nice ******* day.

I bought a set about a month ago. Can't wait to put them on but that won't be for a bit.

My broher has them on his 2005 Porsche Carrera and they handle superbly.

Glad someone could use the tires. 35% $70 off per tire is great.

Any other suggestions on other good tires for the RX-8??? I am also looking to buy new tires, and I am just trying to figure out the best tire for the best price. Thanks all.

a whole lot of us have been very happy with the kumho spt... not expensive handles well, and long last... also great in the rain...

not an autox or track tire..

for those really into performance, i would suggest the following size

245/40/18

tire rack has the following in those sizes:

kumho mx -- 148
bridgstone re050 -- 156 (sale from 223)
bridgestone s03 -- 178 (sale from 235)

at those prices, i would take either bridgestone over the kumho's anyday... but as an autox junkie, i would probably get falken rt-615 - $150 (vulcan tire) and sacrifice rain, sound, etc. hehehe

** i just realized that 255/40/18 might also work... anyone run this size?

I've had the S03s recommended to me by a few different people in my area as being extremely good for rainy conditions, so that is on my list of potential replacement tires when I need to get some.
