Bridgestone Adrenalin RE003 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 86 reviews

Dry grip is the clearest strength of the Bridgestone Adrenalin RE003, praised by 54 of 84 owners, alongside favorable dry handling and steering feedback. Wet grip is also more often praised than criticised, at 35 positive comments against 11 negative, though it is less consistent than dry performance. Tread life and noise divide opinion, with 20 positive wear accounts against 17 complaints and 17 noise positives against 12 criticisms. Around a fifth criticise wear, so strong mileage reports should not be treated as typical. Longer-term accounts vary, and the one substantive follow-up remains positive without establishing a shared ageing trend across owners.

Coming from Michelin Pilot Sport 3. Very good tires, specially in the wet but you need to add + 2 to 3 psi in the front else its too soft (touting like). Very pricey here in Mauritius at Rs6000 each. RE003 better in every way except in wet but its only Rs3200 for one. Suddenly the michelin seems like a rip off! Will stick to RE003 the same way it sticks to the road!

Great Tire, hard to make squeal, I drive a MX5 hard, with track day camber and tow in settings front and rear. its so neutral with these tires. No idea if they are noisy, I have lots of noise anyway. Against Toyo Proxis they are maybe the same kind of grip, but no squeal, they are just diffrent. I will make my stnadrad tire going forward. 195 / 50 R15

The best tire we have had on this car, spirited driving from Christchurch to Akaroa over hilly passes shows how good this tire is. Increadibly high limits in the dry with only mild squealing on the limits. The Clio 172 is a small pocket rocket, but these tires showed we need more HP - these definitely made the chassis perform!! Wet is very good, with high resistance to wheelspin. A little noisier than previous Pirellis which were not in the same class of tire. However, we do find the car torque steers more than before, pulling noticably from one side to the other under hard acceleration in 1st gear if the road has uneven camber.

Decided to purchase the RE003 after reading reviews from the internet. Compared to the previous tire, RE003 delivers extreme grip on dry tarmac, even when I drive through sharp corner in high speed. Tire noise is acceptable, not so irritating as written on some reviews. Its a track/performance tire with a price of street/normal driving. Absolute value-for-money purchase, definitely will buy it again.

Dry grip is very good. Compound more soft compare to my prev GY F1D5. More comfortable and low noise but the road feedback and progressiveness is not good as GY F1D5. It give me high speed confidence at highway. Hard to make it over r under steer. Very grip.

These tires are the best set of tires I've installed on this car by far. Its traction is unmatched both in dry and wet, and there is hardly any road / tire noise on the freeway. After about 800 km hardly any thread are worn. Traction, road handling and tire noise are all better than the previous tires installed on my car, which were Yokohama C Drives. Very impressed with these tires, and when the time comes, will certainly replace these with either the same set or its newer model.

Bought this tire based on my friends recommendation. It's a good set of tire for a sporty drive but. It is terribly noisy.

My 328i is filled with road noise now.... I am not sure if the grip is worth the noise

Been using this tire for 10000k now. all i gotta say is this is the best tire i have ever had. really recommend this for those who seek for good grips. wet grip is tolerable. been using michelin pilot sport 3 before, bs re003 are way much better than ps3.

Nothing to complain about. Absolutely love these tires - currently fitted on my Silvia S15. Previously had terrible tires which would constantly aquaplane & lose traction at as little as 60km/h. Switching to these has been a dream. Purposely have tried to lose traction by oversteering around corners - barely even squirms. Highly recommend.
