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?

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 :lol:

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!!
