Just as a heads up, I was thumbing through the newest Car and Driver and there's an ad for TireRack with Bridgestone rewards card.

They have a whole bunch of tires listed, but I think the ones we'd be interested in is $100 reward card (basically a $100 AMEX prepaid gift card) for buying 4 RE050A Pole Position, RE050A, or RE050s.

Or, if you're not so much into performance tires, there's $75 for the RE960AS Pole Position.

Says offer valid April 13, 2008 - May 10, 2008. Last time there was this type of rebate, it was a Bridgestone rebate, so I don't think you'll have to buy it from TireRack. Last time I got mine from America's Tire Co (used to work there so my manager gives me nice discounts) and got the $75 gift card on top, pretty nice deal.

 

Nice. Are the RE-01R's on that list?

 

WOW, this will be my third set of 050's!

1st set came on my car used
2nd i bought a special on Tirerack for $80 each.

Now this will be another great deal! Thanks for the heads up!

(FYI they last about 20K miles, my commute is 1/2 mtn 1/2 freeway with -1.5 camber all around.)
i corner like mad on abrasive 10 grit road and the corners are still there. Great tires.

 

Man, all 3 cars have brand new tires... Getting new Bridgestones on my bike today tho, probably doesn't apply... Nice deal!

 

I've been looking at tires on tirerack the last few days, and might get bridgestone. thanks!

 

I had the RE050A's on my car at one point and they were great tires. I got rid of the wheels they were on though. I drove them through what little rain we had here on the central coast 06/07 winter and they held great in the wet. The road I live on is twisty too, so its not like I'm saying they were great after only driving on the freeway

 

hey so how does this work? i'm looking to picking up some re-01r's as soon as the car is finished

 

unfortunately no. I already looked into it too.

Great news, the RE050A PP was on my shopping list

 

cool 225-50-16 $119 special.

hopefully i can combine the two...it will be $380 which is still a lot.

they are heavy tires too. my 16's are 26lbs...RS2's are 23




They are fine in the rain, mine are bald, like 2/32's and its hard to get the rear loose in the rain, you really have to push it. Never really hydroplaned.

 

Since it's a Bridgestone and not a TireRack rebate, I'm pretty sure they'll combine it. Like I said in the original post, I get great rebates from my old manager at America's Tire Co, and the invoice even said **Employee Pricing** on it, and Bridgestone still gave me the rebate.

 

the RE01R is not included in the rebate ..

 

Here is the rebate form from Bridgestones website:

I dont see the RE050A Pole Position or RE050A...only the RE050.

Does the RE050A PP qualify?
