Potenza RE050 A Pole Positions? Fitment?

Anyone running these?
http://www.tirerack.com/survey/Surve...+Pole+Position

I was thinking about them as my Toyo's are shot, but didn't see that they came in 205 or 215 in 40-45 seris. The closest I can find is a 215/50

Anyhoo. Speak up if you have 'em. Otherwise I will go back to the F1GS-D3s. I like the Toyos but they have gotten very noisy at under 10k miles and are on the wear bars at 11k

I am running Bridgestone Protenza S-03 Pole Position UNI-T-AQ11 205/50ZR17 89V and they seem to be holding up great and give good handling and grip. I am not sure if these are still available but the size works without any rubbing.

I've been running Falken RT615's in 215/45/16 on the street and love them. At $85 a tire on sale you can't beat them. Bridgestone has a new street preformance tire which looks pretty good. RE-01R The bad news is they don't have a 16" 40 series tire out yet.

Thanks guys. I used to run the SO-3s but they are discontinued. Anyone used the new Potenzas in 215/50R17? I know 215/45 will work.
