Has everyone stuck with the original RE050A's?

Any recommendations?

Dont think any of those tested in Evo can fit the V8 (ie homologated for fitment). I'm gona stick with the Bridgestones for now, I need new rears, £194.82 each inc VAT and Fitting from my local tyre shop Micheldever.

you can fit the optional P Zero Corsas that are 10mm bigger too - these were developed in conjunction with AM for the car - think they are 245 fr and 285 rear

I would be very weary about fitting different makes or spec tyres to a V8. The wider sport tyres would be a good option but they are more expensive and only last half as long.
I have driven V12 DB7's with Avons, Pirelli's and other non standard fitment tyres and the difference to the feel of the car is incredible. I would only fit AM recomended tyres if I was you otherise you may compromise your enjoyment of your car.
