Bridgestone Adrenalin RE003 Reviews - Page 5

Don't let the tread wear count fool you.
Was on conti's stock tire, wore off less than 12000 miles and thought of looking for a set of tires with more grip.

Did not regret at all as the RE003 holds my driving style for a staggering 28000 miles!
Dry grip is way way better than previous set, handling is superb thanks to the hard sidewalls, gave me the confidence to hit the corners and push it to the limits.

At wet the car is still capable of sticking onto the road fine, even on high speed on motorway. Though as the tread goes lower than 30% I can start feeling the wet grip falls short.

With these kind of grip, I can't complaint on the noise it makes. Bearable, and it's actually almost the same as my previous set of tyres. If I'm not looking to tryout other tyres, this is the definite choice to go again.

*Btw, the hard side wall does help a lot on defending the car from potholes from Malaysia road. Hit a few potholes hard, but the tyre still remains in good shape.

Improve handling of my hatchback car. Very grippy on dry and wet. 160km/h at curvy highway while rain still pouring. It worth Adrenaline logo. Great tyre at great price. I will be buying it again. Definitely.

BMW e46 325i Touring, staggered setup (Front 225/45R17 on 8J, Rear 245/40R17 on 8J5 Msport rims with Msport Anti-Roll Bars) the best mileage I've ever had from any tyre (25,000kms and still going), superb wet weather highway performance, excellent dry weather grip.
These tyres are very keenly priced down in New Zealand, and are less expensive than many of the mid-range brands!
They offer serious performance at reasonable entry point, offering excellent value.
They're becoming a little noisier as they wear (I'm 50% down, now), but not as dramatically as (say) Toyo T1-R or Proxes4 (they become massively noisy with wear).
I've driven these in torrential rain on the state highways, they just pump the water away and provide solid grip where other tyres would be struggling and aquaplaning would be your reality. They communicate through these sodden conditions, providing impressive feedback. The car is anchored in the wet.
I've never been able to provoke a let-go in the dry (responsibility), have found they're very communicative of grip, and very easy to understand when pushed.
I've been doing 70km per day round trip commuute, a mixture of suburban hills, motorway, and suburban/industrial flat... they're brilliant at the commute as well as they long-distance weekends away loaded with family. On those occasions I get to enjoy a spirited drive through the back roads in the country, these provide tons of information, loads of grip, and never disappoint.
I will definitely be buying these RE003's again.

Given 91% while driving a Nissan Skyline ER34 GT T (235/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 900 spirited miles
Bought these tyres as i've heard so much positive hype about them, mostly from mightycarmods, and i'm not disappointed, these tyres just grip, wet and dry, both have unbelievable grip, now i'm not pushing any crazy limits but i do go hard on my car and on the old shitty tyres that came with my car it was dicey, but now with the re003's i have not lost control or accidentally spun them, i have a slightly stretched set up of a 235 over a 9 inch wide rim and still get very nice handling, the price of the tyre is also very good, for what you get it is excellent value and ill definitely be sticking to these over and over again. only downside i can see is wear and its not even that bad, id much rather prefer the grip and safety in both wet and dry, instead of it lasting a few extra km's.

Given 60% while driving a Honda Civic Type R (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 6,000 spirited miles
Doesn't deserve the name potenza. I don't like the tire at all and it ain't really cheap.

Dry grip is just okay. Wet grip on straight road is okay but if you are changing lane is a bit dangerous and of course i don't dare to take a fast corner. Noise level are not sure as i'm using a loud exhaust system. Wear rate is good for POTENZA. Comfort level is below average as the wall is quite flexy. Didn't hug the road well.

Just felt like I'm driving on a cheap ultra perfomance china brands tires. I wish i could get a refund from bridgestone as this tires shouldn't be tagged under potenza ranges.

Not recommended at all.

Given 79% while driving a Ford Mondeo Titanium 2.0 TCDI (235/40 R18 W) on mostly motorways for 21,800 average miles
I have set RE003 to replace Goodyear F1A2, same size 235/40R18. F1A2s were wore fully after driving 27,500 miles, which is much longer than RE003 and with better wet grip. Nice grip in dry condition for RE003. And it's comfortable and comparably quiet. After 17,000 miles I started to feel little uncertainty when changing the line or turning. But it's still very fine based on the value.

Since I had 4 spare wheels, decided to put these as daily tyres (made in 2015, used but lots of tread left). Grips pretty well, my handle is moderately heavy which I like; used Pirelli P zero rossos were really light and provided very little feedback. So far the wet grip is better than semi slicks(RSR, NS2R) that I used, but lack in performance when dry. Progressiveness is quite good. RE003 grips better in pouring rain than you expect, and also gives some room to correct a mistake even when you go over the limit. Although I have PSS9 with hardest setting possible, the ride quality was acceptable with these tyres; it was unbearable with semislicks. For some reason, 45% ratio is twice as expensive as that of %50 in my country. For this reason, I would only consider good used RE003s for I can go for wider PSS with new ones' price.

Very good grip on dry. Very good on damp surfaces. Bad at certain standing water.
Good and solid side walls. Poor treadwear.

I'm using this Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 since January 2016 till today, which clock about 20,000KM (approximately 12,400 Miles). Love the feedback and progressiveness! Great in dry condition and I would say also good in wet condition, when cruising at a speed 70-80 m/ph. Cornering grip very responsive. Definitely would buy again this tyre for the current car and my other car too.
