Bridgestone RE003

Anyone using these yet? My Potenza 050 are getting close to replacement and was wondering if anyone had good or bad to say about these?

I have Potenza RE002 on my car and I really like it. Good traction, stability and quiet which is surprising for a performance tire. Wear is also quite reasonable for a performance tire.

RE003 is supposed to improve on RE002 in a quite a few areas. Do a search on Google and you will see some reviews.

yes, if its a better 002, I found the 002s really good for traction. The 050s are still rated very good in a recent motor magazine

re002 is a very good road tyre, as long as they havnt stuffed up with the re003 I'd bet they are also a good tyre.

RE002 had good wet performance, good price and pretty quiet. Ive done about 25-30,000km on mine so far and they still have plenty miles left, look about half worn

Agree about the 002 but haven't driven the 003.

if your getting 25-30,000++ kms out of re002's then you arent driving the car hard enough to need re002's. maybe some ecopias are a better choice? ;)

Had them (RE003's) on my MR2 for about 6 weeks now. Ive found them to be very good, slightly more grippy then the Toyo1R's I replaced.

Yes I have the 003s on the rear of my 540i. Very good so far, much better grip than the Hankooks they replaced.

alright, ill bite! they are on a p11 primera, a good handling road car by any standard. You'd have to be doing stupid speeds to out-drive this combo. Day to day the re002 are far in excess of what I need but its nice to know that theres a tonne more grip there should it ever be needed.
