Ok, but noisy after a bit of wear. These were factory fitted to our 2014 JH Cruze SRI-V (235/45R18) when we bought it new. Initially, they were great although handling in all sorts of conditions is been excellent. At ~20K the noise started. Now at 35K, with probably 10K left on the ... Similar opinion? Write a review!

The difference is like chalk and cheese! I own a 2007 Tiida Q with 17 rims. I bought 4 new Dunlop Sport Max 215/45r/17 tyres @ $220 each after reading a review on how good a performance tyre they were. I never felt confident on them. They didn t seem to grip well going round corners in the ...

Great handling tyre Installed the Adrenaline RE002 on my GT86 with 245/40/18 fronts and 265/35/18 rears, it handles perfect as and way faster and flatter around the corner when I have extra stickier rubber. Stock tire size was 215/45/17 from toyota prius (michelin prima ...

Great tyre - smooth and reliable I have owned a Peugeot 206 GTI 180 for a couple of years but when I bought it had the worst tyres possibly in existence. Absolute crap in terms of how hard they were on the road which is a major issue with low profile tyres. After an obsessive amount ...

Good tyres, especially for the price, but they wear too fast for my taste I had two of these in a 235/45/17 on the front of my 2003 Ford XR6, and I only got about 25,000km out of them, even though I drive like my grandma. That s not a lot of km for me, so I m a bit disappointed. I could ve squeezed out another couple of th ... Similar opinion? Write a review!

Awesome tire Upgraded to 195/50/15 from 14 rims fitted with Yokohama DNA ECOS. I ve done 15k kms with it, 40% of the time on state highways. Great road feedback and cornering. It can be a bit hard on bumps. A 205/50 profile would probably be better or it might b ...

Excellent quality tyre, wet or dry. I went from 16 to 18 wheels on my Subaru WRX and decided to make the most of them with RE002s in 225/40/R18. Through regular rotation and pressure checks I managed to get 3 years and 45,000km of use out of them, far more than what I was expecting. ...

These are a performance tyre...no two ways about it..they were built with ultimate performance and road holding as their primary purpose in life. They do that very well...So if yo ... These are an excellent tyre overall...if you are of a certain mindset. These are a performance tyre...no two ways about it..they were built with ultimate performance and road holding as their primary purpose in life. They do that very well...So if you are a performance tyre kind of person then you will love these tyres, as you have got to really really REALLY try hard to unstick these tyres...doubling the speed limit through a corner will do this...then they might squeal a bit but still not lose traction. Thy are one of the great performance tyres that Bridgestone ever made. BUT.......and there is a but...these tyres get their great road holding through being a soft compound tyre. Fantastic for grip.....not so good for long life...These were on my car when I bought it and I would estimate that the tyres had about 80% of the tread remaining at that point. Thought to myself there s a few good years (no pun intended) in those!!! Um...not so much...17,000kms later and they are dead....worse than just having no tread left they have radial cracking on the sidewalls of two of the tyres. 5-10cm cracks that follow the shape of the tyre. Crikey...lucked out there... Now my driving style is on the quick through corners and hang on for dear life...and for that these tyres are ideally suited. If you drove them gently, with good tyre rotation, alignments and taking car of them they are a very safe tyre that MAY last you a good amount of time. It s possible but not so probable... PRO s - they hang on through a corner like no other tyre I have owned...most people will run out of brave pills before the tyres give up...that s in the dry and the wet. They are very very good in the wet. They are a very safe tyre which will make your car feel inherently safer. Braking distances are very short and they stop well in all conditions CON s - if you are aggressive or do a few track days....they are definitely up for it...but you ll be lucky to see 25-30k out of a set. There is a lot of people who average 25k a year...most people do not want to buy a set of tyres per year. The other thing is as they have worn they have gotten more than a bit noisy. On smooth blacktop it s no big deal...but get onto the coarse stone type of road that is very common in Oz, they do make a bit of a racket. I drive on a 235 40 18 with relatively small sidewalls and one way they get such excellent road holding is with very stiff sidewalls. There is no flex at all which really aids in staying stuck. This is a double edged blade but and it means that the ride comfort is a very VERY FIRM RIDE!!! Because there is small sidewalls without much flex, you ll feel every bump, ripple strip and undulation. This may be better with a less low profile tyre but in the 40 profile....they rattle your fillings loose...price you pay for 40 profile tyres...This is either a concern or not...most people looking for ultimate road holding don t generally care AT ALL about how comfortable the tyre is... So as per my title: Yes with a but: Yes these tyres have great road holding and stick like babysh*t to a blanket. BUT if you drive them hard they simply will not last....but if you are up for a set a year or its on a car you occasionally driven, they are very very good and if you can look past the comfort and noise levels, you will not be disappointed with their performance. No with a maybe: If you don t drive like your hair is on fire and you are a more sedate driver they probably will last a lot more and MAYBE these are the tyres for you. If the tyre you need is not too low of profile, say 60 or 65 profile then they won t be as uncomfortable and MAYBE they will be okay for you. If your car is really quiet and the tyre noise will not bother you too much MAYBE they could be for you...buy ultimately is doesn t make a lot of sense buying a performance tyre and driving it like your Grandma....so it is probably not for those looking for a compromise or a more comfortable and compliant tyre...They do have a tendency to tramline a bit as well which can catch you until you get to recognize the times when it s likely to happen...now all tyres do this, but in the 235 width I found them particularly prone to it...something to be alert to not alarmed to. Final words, a great tyre for those looking to get a mid priced performance tyre who can overlook some of its idiosyncrasys and be very happy with it s high limit grip and performance.

Would buy this tyre again.
