Hi Pong,
I too had just bought two rear w/Bridge 050A PP as recommanded by Tire Rack. My fronts were S-03 PP as is. But now my car feels sluggish and soft?! Maybe I need an alignment or something as installer brought it up... Jury is still out on these as I was torn between Mich PS2 and 050A PP... Just a thought!
P.s. If you ever come down to O.C. Let me know. I would love to see your Ruf in person!

I currently have Kumho MX's and they are great tires. I have owned 2 sets of SO3's and purchased 6 from Tire Rack on close out. Will go with 1 more set of rear MX's before I change over to the SO'3s. Needless to say, Im set for tires for a few years.

Yes, definite thanks for the updates.
For purposes of future searches, I just ordered the 225/40-18 050A Pole Position for the fronts, and the closeout RE050A nonPP 285/30-18 for the rears on my C2S. If the non-PP compound causes massive oversteer at least I've got an extra $60 to put dowards damages
Thanks again,
Jeff

funny pong ~ (rev. this thread)
i had a mishap w/ one of my s03 rears (only 3500 miles new!!!).
does anyone have a single so3 /285 18" they want to sell???? -or- lemme' know if a lister needs one!!!! ha ha!
long story short... i ended up w/ the R050A's on the rears w/ my s03's up front.
only one prob though... the newer R050A's are actually slightly wider than the old s0'3! so i had to go w/ 265's. john @ wheel enhancements had the 285's on my car @ first then we saw i was going to have some issues (i am almost @ rs height).
we actually laid the 285 s03 next to the 265 R050A placed a straight edge on them 7 there was only about an 1/8" diff.
just an fyi for listers.
oh & also for 993's that are low......... watch where your oil hose clamp is point so you get clearance from tire rub on 285's.
