What pressure do I inflate them to potenza re003
1 answer
As much as you can! Seriously, I use 39 psi on my Commodores, which seems to be the optimum for handling, braking and grip. These are a high performance tyre so don'r go for a soft ride.
Ride is another matter at this pressure - but I prefer the cars to handle.
Lighter car maybe lower pressure but always above 32 psi or they won't perform.

what is the price 4 off bridgestone potenza re003 - 205, 50, R17 -fitted balanced
1 answer
I would expect around $200 per tyre, though Bridgestone regularly has 4th tyre free promotions / cashback promotions. Costco usually is approx $10-$15 per tyre cheaper + advertises the Bridgestone retail promotions too.

Best tyres for Mercedes 250CDI WAGON 2013? Looking at all-round performance - quiet, safe & good mileage.
1 answer
Assuming you are running the standard 255/50R19 Tyres, the Bridgestone Alenza A001 has been getting excellent reviews on this website - especially how quiet and grippy they are.
The Continental UltraContact® UC6 is also a good option.

Will these type of tyres be suitable for people movers like the toyota tarago?
1 answer
No, these are a performance based tyre for performance cars. High grip, soft rubber compound, high wear rate. I only get 10 - 12,000kms from a set of these, but I drive fast and hard.

I have re003s on my xr5 running 410bhp
I would recommend Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003. I recently fitted these to my Suzuki Swift when Bridgestone had their buy 4 pay for 3 sale. The tyres have given superior roadholding in both wet and dry conditions and were a gtreat choice to replace the original tyres which I was never happy with.
I would use RE003s also
Erikaasked
How many km can I expect from Bridgestone potenza Adrenalin RE003 tyers under normal driving conditions?
1 answer
Hi Erika,
I have driven so far around12k daily driven, and the tyres still looks brand new. It all depends on maintainance. I bought them from Jaxx and they throw free rotation and balance every 6 month or 10000k whichever comes first. To maximise the life of your tyre, you need to make sure you do your balancing and rotation on time, make sure the suspension condition is good (no uneven tyre wear) and if possible get the allignment done once a year atleast. They should go at least 25-30k, if not more. And with the price, I cant complain about the km.
Joeasked
What's the ride comfort like after 10000km?
1 answer
Hi Joe, I have driven around 7-8k since the new tyres, and still feels news and looks new too. Have gone for tyre rotations and wheel allignment 6 months after getting them. I have also pumped with Nitrogen instead of normal air, overall the performance is great for what it costed. Try grabbing them on 4 for 3 deals and rotate and balance every 6 month as advised. I was actually shocked to find no tyre noise on a budget tyre like this

Hi, Anybody running the 003's on an impreza? If so what tyre pressures have you been at?
metalronasked
Hey guys, what's the expected lifespan of these say when you use it for more like regular commuting?
9 answers
Hi there.....Well, this is only an educated guess, however, I reckon if you do not abuse the tyres with too much spirited driving, and you adhere to the regular reversal periods, I would like to think they are good for around 40,000- 45,000 kms....Only a guess....hope this helps
Great, thanks, someone else told me a similar reply so your educated guess is good enough :D Thanks!
Has anyone with these tyres got a real-world value? e.g 50% worn and done XXX kms
Peterasked
How good/bad is the road noise on these tyres? The RE002 had people complaining about the higher road noise however Bridgestone has apparently made the compound softer on the RE003 and also made a slight difference on the tread pattern so curious to know if this has made it better?
3 answers
I have RE003s on an MY09 Honda Civic Sport, great handling, very low noise in my opinion, the originals were Michelins but replacements were far too expensive so I bought these, very happy in all respects with the exception of tyre life. I'm not a leadfoot but these are being replaced with Michelins today after only a bit over 30,000ks. Not quite down to the wear bars but close.
Peter,See my review CHIC1660....very impressive tyre....and yes, they are quiet mate...I never expected that, but it is the case.Hopefully, for the life of the tyre.
Cheers....Jeff
I find them acceptably quiet for a high performance tyre. Unlike a lot of high performance tyres I've had in the past, they don't seem to get louder as they age either.
