Owners of the Bridgestone Adrenalin RE002 most consistently praise dry grip, followed by wet grip, with handling and steering feedback also well regarded. Quiet running and ride comfort attract substantially more praise than criticism. Wet grip is less unanimous than dry grip, with complaints from around one in ten, sometimes about abrupt loss of grip near the limit. Tread life is more divided, with ten critical accounts against 17 favorable ones and varying longer-use experiences. Later reviews written by the same people remain mixed rather than showing a consistent decline as the tire wears.

I ride audi tt 2.0 tfsi FWD. This tire should heated so you should ride at least 15 km before you get best performance. therefore,this tire is unsuitable for short rides. when it is cold it is the worst tire i ve ever used. Not only it is too hard but also it is too louder tire. I do not recommend these tires.
Comfort and Performance, grippy tires and more comfortable compared to the stock Potenza RE050. I already lowered the car with tein springs and bilstein performance shocks, and these tires on 18 rims still ride well

Really great tire, nice follow up from the re050a.
Dry grip is really good, but missing some grip over the yokohama parada spec 2.
Wet grip is really good. They behave well on tracks.
You feel very good when oversteer/understeer is coming. They will scream a little bit. Buying them again for my dialy car.
The tires are heavy compared to other brands.
They don't wear out fast, at the moment i drove 6000km on them and they look like new
Difficult to rate tires as it's not like you try out several brands every week and concentrate on the intricate differences. That said, I put these on a 210bhp MINI Cooper S and can't really fault them for the price range. Dry grip is excellent, wet grip is impressive and much better than the Falkens I was running previously, and feedback from road is also good. They're not too loud, but I cannot comment on wear yet as have only had them for a couple of months. If I was looking for a tire in the same price range again I would buy them, but will probably pay more and go for a more fast road/track tire.
Dry grip is awesome! Wet grip is outstanding as well just slip once at very high speed cornering but traction regain very soon. So far driven 6000km and wear is about 1mm so i think it is above average. Overall very outstanding tire compared to replaced michelin energy saver! Definitely recommended if you enjoy driving enthusiasm!
I have a 2000 Ford Laser - 195/55/R15. I got all 4 put on new rims after having the skinny stock tires. They have lasted for 3years and just over 60K and only just getting to the point that I need to shop for new ones. Only had a wheel alignment when I got them, so it is surprising that they have lasted this long. Always keep tire pressure checked every 2 weeks. I prefer 36psi over the recommended 32psi. It gives me a sharper ride and I don't feel the lag in the corners like I do with the lower pressure. They are amazing in both wet and dry. Sticky as hell in both conditions that I tend to take corners at a quicker speed with 100% confidence in the tires, and they have not let me down once with this.
They are sports tires so they are softer and they are not meant to last as long or give you as good economy or be super quiet with road noise, BUT I am very pleased that with my car they have lasted for so long, my hwy economy is 38-42mpg with aircon on, and road noise is not out of the ordinary (quiet enough to have a conversation. Having said that it depends a lot on your car construction vs tires, my car is going to be noisier than my brothers 2008 Honda Accord Euro that is running the same tires)
I have owned Maxxis, yokis & supercats (never ever, ever again supercat) in the past and this is the first sports tires I've had on any of my cars and it's well worth the money I spent. These RE002s have been the best tires I've owned, the cheapest I've every bought tires for (thank you costco) and the longest lasting I've had by a long mile.
Highly recommended. especially for a FWD medium car
Better grip and feedback in the wet and dry than the RE050A that it replaces and a touch more dry focused than the S001. Their sidewalls are quite solid and they're not the lightest tire although they're reasonably quiet and comfortable, with compliant tread. If comfort, as opposed to control, is your top priority then the Adrenalin RE002 may not be ideal for you (try a Turanza or something from Continental instead.) They can feel a bit squishy when first fitted, but that wears off within a few hundred miles and then they're confidence inspiring. In an S2000 in dry conditions it's very hard to find their limits on the road. Highly recommended for sporty driving in any weather (but not ice and snow).
Excellent grip in wet and dry, i tend to drive quickly and with the car chipped putting 170bhp through the front wheels the previous falken eco runs used to lose traction. No such problems with the adrenaline,the traction control light is no longer constantly winking at me! The tires are also remarkably quiet and comfortable. I cant comment on wear yet but so far very happy and will be buying again, recommended.
all I can say is wow.. I can drive spiritedly when it rains. Dry grip? Phenomenal! Ride is not that jarring even when I am on 18s wheels and TEIN lowering springs.
Excellent tires for an S2000, with more dry and wet grip, feel and comfort when compared to the RE050A they replace. The increased comfort may just be due to the 5mm of additional tread, but the grip and handling is impressive and increase my confidence.
