RE 050 vs. RE 050A

Noticed both on the Bridgstone site. It implies that the 050A, with an asymetrical tread, is more performance oriented than the 050 which is what we get with the S2k. Anybody try 050A's? Any noticeable difference in handling?

You are correct about the difference. The tire you have is different in performance and it was tuned for the S2K.. The A is the aftermarket asymetrical tire.

Isn't the 050A found on the Enzo?

"Tuned for the S2k"... Does this mean the 050A would provide no gain on the s2k? Sorry, just clarifying what you meant!
