I have Potenza RE-01R's and they are great. Much better than the S03's I had previously.

Default I just installed a set on my car.
I have less than a 100 miles on them. I also upgraded to 19" wheels. So far so good, but I really haven't pushed them either. They seem very stiff and a little noisy but I'm sure it has more to do with the 19" wheels. There are still a lot of pot holes out here (Denver) so I'm not able to get on it too much.

I had 17" and S-03s before and they got louder as they wore, I hope that doesn't happen with the re050A PP.

I loved the grip of the S-03 PP, and can only guess the re050a pp are an improvement. Also, the RE050A didn't do too well in the Car and Driver tire test, but the PP are supposed to be an improvement.

I guess tires don't prevent stupidity.
