The Bridgestones RE050A are on special at the local Bob Jane Tmart for $265.00. This is what they were trying to flog to me when I ask for a price for the Advan DB.
RE050A are OEM tyres on a lot of sports cars. It's a good tyre, but it's not the longest lasting one. Wear rating of 140 is quite low, so you would be changing around every 20 000 - 25 000km. It's a performance tyre, and from the Max Performance group as well (Tyres are grouped in Extreme, Max, Ultra High, High, GT for summer tyres; obviously the higher tier it is, the more grippy it is, with most extreme tyres being semi-slicks). I would think Advan DB would go into the GT spec. Don't let the GT fool you though, as it's still a summer tyre, so it'll still grip a lot better than all weather tyres.
