Paid £390 for the two all in. Yes they are RE050A's
I will double check all the number in light tomorrow.
I will try lowering rears in steps of 0.05 bar (~3/4psi) and see what happends and I'll let you know. I tried increasing the fronts by 0.05 bar but it did not help - seemed to trameline more.
Wow, 2.4 sounds very low for rear tyres on a 330d! Is the spec 2.9 for a 330d? In In "old money" that's 7psi lower! How are they wearing?

I took the car back to the tyre fitter, they balanced the wheels all around (even although they had just supposedly done the rears) told me to try the pressure slightly lower - which I have 2.2 bar front and 2.4 bar rear. The car is fine now, handles and tracks well. Not entirely sure about the tyre pressures though.
Out of interest how much did you pay for the Bridgestones?
Are they RE050A?? - Do they have the exact same daa on the side wall as the ones that came off?
Cheers.
