Bridgestone RE050A or PS2's?

They seem like the same tire but the pilots are 3lbs lighter. is that realy a difference?

Man PS2s all the way, they are about the same price, but the PS2s are lighter, grippier and the tie breaker is the treadwear rating, 220 vs a poor 140 for the potenza.

I bought a simular package for my previous car 300ZX. I was in a bind because I had two broken rims
and thought I was getting a good deal....not!! The
rims were 5-Zegins (junk) and tires Toyos (worse).
Since I was used to running Michelins I jumped on
a freeway onramp not thinking the Toyos couldn't
handle a little g-force.......spun the Z.....that had
never happned in 10 years of pushing the Z to the
max!! I wouldn't put Toyos on my lawnmower!!!!
