The RE-01R's are on a massive sale right now, as the replacement will be coming soon.
Play with 'em and see how they feel. Anywhere 32 - 42 pounds is gonna be alright, but if you're sensitive, you'll find a pressure that yields the best combination of ride and handling ( and maybe wear), and lets the sidewall construction work as designed. I've found it to be 37/35 for stock contisports, the same or a pound more for my PS2's, 3 lbs less for my RE050A Bridgestones.
Mine are on thier 8th winter! Still have decent tread left.
the blizzak, i love mine.
Three Bridgestone Potenza RE750 tires, size 205/40/17 W80 About 1000 mi on them and a very sticky performance tire.
I have had the Wintrac extreme for 3 years now and did some serious autobahn racing with those babies. I must admit that the tyres are superb,doin' 280kph on the autobahn is no problem.
All I know about them is they make good winter tires (and then... mostly only from reviews - I only have talked to one person who had a set on his car - and reported good results)... supposedly around the same levels as Nokian Hakka's and Gislaved Nord-Frost...
I had these on my A4 avant a coupel years ago. They were the best tires I ever owned. I had the ultrac2 I think. The rubber is very thick. I got a nail in it once and the mechanic at my work was impressed they did not punchure the tire.
I wasn't thrilled to see the OEM tire choice is yet again the marginal Bridgestone RE92, but they seem to do the job without being noisy. I have a feeling a set of dry-pavement UHP tires (RE730, S-03, etc) would make a good thing even better.
i have the bridgestone potenza RE050A's.. came on my huffs stock...i need new ones on the front allready! with a 140 treadware rating they burn down quick!
