Bridgestone RE002

Hi guys
Has anyone tired the RE002's?
I saw them on a DC5 at Trax at the weekend they looked like a nice tread pattern?

I like the look of these to. Trouble is, the rest of the world has the next version - RE003 which are a significant improvement. Bridgestone U.K. Can't tell me when the uk will get these and I'm loathed to buy them all in case the new version comes out.

I'm on the limit with my front tyres, so may have to bite the bullet. They look really aggressive, but believe they are not an exceptional tyre.

I had them one my oem wheels when I got the car. When I first got them I thought they were great, but when pushing hard into corners after a few months they went great . I've since got ad08r's on and the difference is night and day.

Used to run them on my ATR, granted it's a different car. Tyres are pretty much the same as F1A2/3 etc, half decent with good grip but as a drivers' tyre they leave a lot to be desired. Wooly feel, soft sidewalls and not hugely inspiring.

So we saying these are no good then

For a DC5 yes, what's your budget, go for RE070 or AD08R imo.

Think I will scrub on 225's 😔

AD08R come in 215

What's your wheel/ride height spec?

Yep as experienced by myself there's better tires out there.

What about Yokohama V105s, there much the same price from 4x4 tyres as the RE002 and also come in 215 width. I'm in this same senareo, did look at RE070s but heard that they look rather chunky on standard rims so am swaying towards getting these when the time comes, has anyone heard good reports on these?.

I bought and ran these on my s2000. They're ok for the price, not exceptional and nowhere near as good in the wet as the premium bridgestones.
