Good 'cheap' performance tyre, but there is better.

published

They're a good performance tyre in the dry and reasonably quiet too. In the wet however they're not brilliant, cornering traction quickly comes undone. The Re003 is beginning to age now and there's much better alternatives for the same money such as the Pirelli P Zero.
My set lasted about 30,000km.

Great tyres, excellent wet grip, expensive.

published

Great tyres, expensive but you get what you pay for. Excellent wet grip (can take corners fast in wet conditions with no problems, haven't experienced any loss of the or front steer. Wait for Bridgestone to have a special on buy 3 get 1 free deal as these tyres can get expensive, I think they are normally $300 for 215-45-18

GREAT TYRE SHORT LIFE

published

Very good handling, quiet ride, good wet road performance. But after having regular balance and rotate, W/A and no faulty suspension, all four tyres are almost down to the wear indicators after 23,000 km. I am an aged pensioner and am not a burnout enthusiast, although I'm probably not your average pensioner driver. I had the tyres checked at Bob Janes and their technician said the tyres need replacing and could be considered illegal. I would have expected better mileage from such a highly promoted tyre and will not buy them again, I need something that will last longer

Best tyre, wouldn’t buy anything else!

published

Best tyres I have ever put on any of my cars, great in the wet, dry, on track and wearing.
Great bang for buck for any use track, street etc
If you’re looking for a tyre that’s reasonably priced and can be used on and off the track, then these are the tyres for you!

Great Tyre!!

published

These tyres lasted a really long time I would say probably around 50,000 of driving around and I have also noticed that there is not much road noise as other people have mentioned. I will defiantly be going back to these tyres next time I need to change them around!

Very overhyped, but sticky and quiet

published

Mine lasted a very very long time, about 40,000-50,000 of hard driving.
Sticky when they want to be, but tends to understeer.
Not much road noise, especially for a street sports tyre.
Thin side walls, so if you get a flat expect to purchase another one.
Amazing in the wet, same performance level in the wet.

Perfect tyres!

published

Bridgestone Adrenaline tyres on our 12 year old Golf have shown an exceptional performance in all weather conditions. We experienced better handling and overall better performance of the car. We have also noticed a significant reduction of the road noise. Durability also seems to be excellent in the last 11 months. Would purchase again.

Rubbish Tyres

published

Flatspotted from sitting over the weekend and the annoying thumping from the flats spots doesn’t disappear until the tyres are warm but then the flat spots return again overnight. I would never purchase these again. Do some research and get some good advice from a good true shop but avoid these Bridgestones.

Worst tyres i've ever bought

published

For a premium price I expected much better quality. Back tyres wore out to 0 tread within 10,000kms evern after maintaining them well. Took them in to get rotated to be told that I needed to fork out $500+ for 2 new tyres! Would not reccomend to anyone, waste of money. Do your research and buy something better

Excellent handling in all conditions

published

We hd a set of these fitted to our GTi Golf and they are fantastic. The tyres are quite and smooth but the difference in handling is incredible even in the wet.
They are not the cheapest tyre on the market but worth the little bit extra and I do not expect to get huge mileage from them as they are quite soft.
Well worth the money

Excellent Tyres

published

Great all weather tyres, I ran the R2,S, which unfortunately are defunct as far as I'm aware.I pushed these tyres pretty hard in all weather conditions putting a lot of faith in their road gripping ability, loved these tyres. A good 12 months wear or 40+ks. Please bring them back.

Excellent the day you get them, but they don't last long

published

They tick every box you would expect for a performance tyre, wet and dry performance and handling, low noise, look great.
But I only got 27,000ks out of them until they were worn out to unroadworthy. Even whilst being a sensible driver and regularly maintaining my tyre placards recommended psi.
Due to this I won't be purchasing these again because of the hefty price tag.

21ks and still good

published

We bought these a year or so ago and have traveled a suprising amount of distance around 21 thousand kilomitors and the tread still look great. Probably need changing in a few months time but I'll be buying these again if their available and for a good price. We have them on our ford V6

Hmmmmm

published

Put these on an XR6 after hearing they were great, but 6000k’s and I’m still wondering why. They are horrible in the wet, the back end has near no traction at all. The crappy Dunlop OEM’s that came on the car were far superior than these. They are even wearing fairly quick too. Might stick with the pilot sports and pay that bit extra.

Ashley Saiesasked

What pressure do I inflate them to potenza re003

1 answer
Wetwork65
Wetwork65

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.

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.

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.
