The Bridgestone RE050A Pole Position is the current top rated tire in its class on TireRack. PS2 and Eagle F1 GS-D3 were tied last time I checked for 2nd.
I don`t use any of these.

I like to know then If Bridgestone are the top then why do most poeple get the PS2?

Michelin has better brand reputation. Bridgestone is a great tire though, biggest difference is wet traction and cost for Bridgestone vs cornering stability for PS2. I got PS2 and love them but both tires as well as the Goodyear eagles are great tires.

Keep in mind that TireRack only report on products they sell (so most of the majors are covered, the usual suspects plus Continental, Pirelli etc) but some other excellent tires from the likes of Toyo and others will not appear because TireRack don't sell 'em)
