Tyres for V8V

[Springbok]

Need two rears for the V8V. Bridgestone show two differnt tyres (both same size and both RE050A) that seem to be identical. One though shows AM under the detail - the other one doesn't. Of course the AM one is (slightly) more expensive. Anybody know the difference?

Also can anyone recommednd where to get them from (and or fitted) in Sussex/Surrey border area?

Thanks

I had this issue on RE050's on my S2000.
The profile does tend to be slightly different and the sidewalls may be stiffer (that was the case with the 17" ones on the S200)
If in doubt stick to the AM ones IMHO

re050 am9's is the tyre you want they have the harder sidewall i think....pop in to your local kwik fit cheapest around at the moment,should get them for £330 fitted for backs

Thanks chaps,

Kwik Fit quoted me £564 for the two fitted inc VAT, but reduced to £440 when I queried the price!!

Blackcircle look reasonable.

try www.camskill.co.uk and Event Mobile if they cover your area

Thanks Mikey,

Good call re Camskill - £202 per tyre.

Camskill is supply only
I tend to get Event to price match as they will come and fit on your drive

Many of the Honda S2000 owners have moved from RE050's to these new Goodyears and the are getting great reviews

Ignore the sizes stated in the state there are a load more than that!

I will try them on my V8VR when the RE050's are dead
