Hi guys, ordered some bridgestone re050a tyres off camskill, but looking afterwards realised there are several different prices for the same tyre, the difference being in the mould version! Can anyone tell me which mould version i should be looking for, and what the difference is between all the different mould versions?

Have ordered these but now not sure if they are the right tyre for my car?

The differences are indicated in the chart ratings!!!

Looks like just the speed ratings that are different

[160mph_boy]

There are actually differences in wet grip rating, and in noise class db, as well as speed rating!!

The more expensive tyre actually gives off more road noise

Cheers guys, just thought it was strange that the cheapest tyres have the lowest road noise and the best wet grip!! Shame they don't rate the tyres on their dry grip capability aswell!!

I'm running Bridgestone RE050A's and they have good dry grip!!!!!

[Marcw]

Ideal!! Getting them fitted all round tomorrow, can't wait to feel the difference from the rubbish that's on there at the minute!

I was in two minds over what tyres to run, went for RE050A's and must say they a great tyre for me, no problems at all, grip nicely.
