Bridgestone Adrenalin RE002

Replaced rear RE001s with these. The RE002s are much better in the wet and dry.

Changed size from standard 205/45/17 to 215/45/17. Gave me a much wider choice of tyre at a cheaper price. RE040s were great in dry but didn't inspire too much confidence in damp or wet conditions. Chose RE002s as I didn't want to change manufacturers as well as the size, and it is also a brand new tyre so has much newer technology packed into it. With the slightly higher profile sidewall the ride is fractionly less harsh and jittery without losing the sharpness of turn in. It is a quieter tyre too. The grip in dry conditios is great but in the wet is where you notice a massive difference. The confidence these tyres give you in the wet is fantastic and they are very progressive on the limit. Very pleased I made the change, great tyre

Had a set of these RE002's put on the car to replace the RE050A's that were due for replacement. So far I'm extremely satisfied. Great steering feedback/feel, excellent traction both wet and dry. They provide a nice firm responsive ride. A little bit noisy, but certainly not loud. So far wear is looking very good. I may have found the perfect tyre for my driving.

A decent enough tyre but IMO Bridgestone hasn't really advanced the game far enough from the old RE001 Adrenalin. They have gone from class leader to mid-pack with this tyre. Competitors like the Toyo T1 Sport and Goodyear Eagle F1Asymmetric 2 cost a bit more but are better performers.

Nice handling,very good in dry grip.In the wet condition is far better than my previous tyres (Nitto invo) low aquaplaning feedback.Low road noise when comparing in the range of sporty tyres. The tyres are quite stiff but not that bad...so far so good.

Much quieter tyre than the Toyo Teo + . From New Zealand. Brought a pair for $250 each, excellent buy. My previous RE001's lasted 35,000Km's. Relatively happy with the mileage. Obviously a soft compound tyre so can accept the tradeoff in mileage for handling & quiteness

I just brought these tires and have only one to describe them, incredible! For the price they are exceptional. I have a chipped MKV Golf GTI with 260hp at the front wheels. The Michelin Primacy that came with the car new were nothing like the performance of this tire. I drive my car hard and too the limit quite often and the RE002's has given the GTI a new level of confidence. With the Michelin Primacy i would get wheel spin in first and second gear. There is virtually no wheel spin with the RE002....all the power is transfered into forward motion. Initial turn in is precise with nice adjustability before the tire let's go. When it does, it let's go very progressively. The other unique thing about this rubber is that they generate a far bit of heat which helps the grip levels. From a noise and comfort point of view the RE002 dampen bumps very well and are very quite, more so than the OEM Michelin Primacy. I'm very impressed with this tyre and have a gut feeling that for the money verses grip ratio the RE002 would be up there with the best.

Got the RE002 after I depleted the RE11. The tyres needed around 1000Km to run in. After the 1000Km, it give me the same kind of traction RE11 would have give me on dry pavement and at least 90% on wet, but they only cost three third of RE11. I will suggest everyone give it a try.

Changed to RE002 after depleting my RE050 for just under 35,000km. Overall, it is much quieter and feels more grippy attacking corners. Impressive
dry grip and equally good wet grip. After the run in of about 500km, the tyre feels even more solid.
