Michelin PS2 or Bridgestone RE050A

Sorry if this is a repeated question but I cut a rear today and I am debating switching to PS2 over the Bridgstones. Has anyone done this and what are your thoughts?
Obviously the PS2 's are a little more costly but I'm more interested in how you feel the car handled.
Thanks

Can't comment on the Bridgestones, but the PS2s are a phenomenal tire. I highly recommend them for street/track. Very predictable handling on the turns and hardly ever give up.

I think the Bridgestone is a more predictable tire, it gives the driver more warring when its go to let go. That said the PS2 is a great tire and much quiet on the street.

I had PZeros on the car when I got it. I couldn't believe how loud they were. Changed to PS2s and they are quiet, balance well [unlike the pzeros] and are great on track or street.

My car came with the Bridgestones...they are incredibly loud but fine as a tire...that being said I'm having PS2s put on now (20s on new rims)...I'll report back any differences. I really don't think you can go wrong with either tire to be honest.
