The Bridgestone RE050A pole positions are on par with the PS2s, but at a lower price point.
The Bridgestone RE-01Rs, Yokohoma Advan Neova AD07s, Dunlop Sport Z1s and Toyo R1Rs should offer more overall grip than the PS2s, but are offered in limited sizes.

re050 is just a summer perferomance tire
s03s and ps2s which i have both used are "ultra performance" tires just below the track/cup rated tires.
i have not tried the goodyear tires or the yoko advans which are the new ultra performance tires that im told are good.
if the op is looking for ultra performance like ps2s i would stick to ps2s or s03s or yoko advans.
if you wanted not ultra performance then stick wiht the goodyear or toyo n such

My Ride: BMW E60 530i , Silver with leather Air Con iDrive 17" Breyton Rims with Dunlop Sp Sport tyres (M-Tech Bodykit and rims WANTED)
Alfa Romeo 147 TS1.6 , Black with Air Con 17" Multi Spoke alloys with Bridgestone RE040 tyres
Toyota MR-S 1.8 VVTI , Lagoon Blue with Red leather Air Con 15" standard alloys with Toyo tyres
Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI, Lagoon Blue, Air Con, 16" Standard alloys with Kuhmo KU31, EBC Green Stuff
Can't ignore RE050 and PS2, they both are very good tyre.
But can't beat the F1 Asymmetric's price, they are the cheapest in the range and always performs top in the chart.
Definetly will be the next on my 5er

(Update - next time round was 3/5/08, the Asymmetrics weren't available in 295/30/19 so I just got a set of PS2s)

p.s i wouldnt ignore the yoko advan tires
i have used
s03s
ps2
and yokos
and they are all very good compared to each other... unforutnatly have not tried the new re's as when i had s03s they were very noisy and i was quiete pleased wiht the ps2s... yokos are about the same performance as the ps2s and cheaper.
