RE002 and S001

  Top of Page

Has anyone tried Bridgestone RE002 or S001 tyres yet? I have Kumho KU36s on my 3RB at the moment, but I wouldn't get them again. The Bridgestones sound interesting, and the prices don't seem too bad if you shop around a bit. RE002 in 225/45/18 are $325.

I've got the RE001 which is the previous generation. Great tyre.  Just a tad off on the F1's but still has good grip in dry and more importantly, in the wet.

How do they compare to the RE050As for grip, noise and wear?

Never ran on the RE050As. i bought my ride few years back and they were on the same Kumho's you have.  Only had the Adrelin for a couple months mate so can't comment on wear, but its a quiet tyre and grips much better than the kumho's, esp in the wet. 

If you're after performance, find out how much extra the F1s are and go with them.  If they had F1s in stock in 215/45/17 when i got my set, i woulda snatched em without thought as they were only an extra $20 a corner. But i'm happy thus far with the adrelin.

Do you mean the F1 Directional 5 or the Assymetric 2? Anyway, they don't seem to have the size I want.

This thread is a little old but I'll comment on past experience. The 050A was standard equipment on the GT and 3.0R-B, certainly on the 18" rims in AU and NZ. Also standard on the WRX for a while. I've had the 050A on my WRX and R-B wagon for the last 5 years and it's a very very good tire. Probably the best wet / dry performance tire for the money. It's discontinued now so probably an S001 would do the job!
