04 OEM tires... what are they?
I went to pep boys and tried ordering new rear tires for my 2004 S2000. I just want to get the OEM tires. Well they said there are 2 different Bridgestone Potenza RE050 tires (you can go to Bridgestones web site and see both of them). Which ones are the OEM tires that I need? Thanks

I think they are wrong and are confused. There is only one Bridgstone RE 050 tire. This is the OE tire for this car.
There just happens to also be the RE 050A and RE 050A Pole Position. I think PepBoys are having a tough time seeing the difference.
I've gone the Bridgestone part of TireRack's website and have found all of these. Plus, I've gone directly to the Bridgestone site and there is ONLY one RE 050.

Please re-read my last post. I explained it pretty clearly.

A "tire place" would have no problems figuring out the difference between "050" and 050A" and they wouldn't try to convince the customer that these two are the same and make them choose.
