Pricey, but good for a 4WD
Compared to Pirelli PZero Nero, these are:
-Quieter
-Better for cornering in the wet.
There s a sick downhill right-hander on the way into my work parking lot. With PZero Neros equipped, I was getting some slick 4WD drifting action when entering the corner at about 50 km/h in the wet.
With the RE002s equipped, I only got the 4WD drifting action entering at 55 km/h.
I only wish they were cheaper.

Excellent Tyre
We recently replaced the Bridgestone Potenza RE 050A s that came with our Mazda 6 with the RE 002 s. Although we haven t done enough km s on them to comment on the wear, we are certainly impressed with the grip and reduced road noise compared to the 50A s. What was even better was the deal that Bridgestone were promoting at the time of purchase - buy 3, get the 4th tyre free. We saved almost $300! Although there are cheaper options out there, I believe these tyres offer superb value for money.

Great corner and control in all conditions, but too bumpy on the road
Drives me nuts on older bumpy roads. Came from smoother longer lasting michelins and might go bacl asap.
yes good on the performance side but i drive a.luxury car and enjoyed the premium ride of my previos michelins.
is a good tyre fir a sports car, no doubt aboht it. Provides good confidence when driving with them.

2004 Nissan Pulsar
Not a Fan
I don t know why these tyres have such a high fan base. I only have them on a Pulsar (Daily Driver) and I actually feel a tad unsafe driving with them. They seem to grab to the point of taking over the steering wheel at times, kind of a similar feeling of driving in ruts in a 4WD. This is typically when they are slipping away driving on dry bitument (a Pulsar does not have much power, so don t know how those using on a a car with more ponnies can stand them) and then grab and throw the car about a bit, I drive very careful in the wet as I just don t trust them.
Will be switcing to probably Toyo as had them on another and felt way more secure.

Best Tyre Yet
These tyres are extremely durable.They take anything you can throw at them. When pushed hard they simply stick with very little understeer, The best non competition tyre I have driven on in the wet. Pushed hard the wear characteristics are fantastic but tyre pressures are very important. I own several performance cars and these road going tyres bring out the best in the performance and I feel confident when really pushing the vehicle to its limits. A great, safe tyre for all conditions that wears well.

2000 Subaru Impreza WRX
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. The only problem I had with them was the initial purchase price; only one store in my town stocked them and as such they charged me $1400 with fitting, balancing and a front/rear wheel alignment.
Grip, however, has been outstanding in all conditions throughout the tread wear. Even at 40% they still stuck like **** to the proverbial blanket. Inspires a lot of confidence and works well with the all-wheel-drive system. You have to be driving far harder than necessary to get it to understeer. As they wore down though some tramlining became present.
Wet performance was not as impressive as tyres more designed for such conditions like the Toyo Proxes4, but by no means were the RE002s dangerous, far from it. Great wet performance for a summer tyre.
On the whole the initial purchase price was the only drawback, and to be fair 225/40 is not the most popular 18 tyre size and it would have paid to shop around more, online for an example - but then the problem would have been getting a tyre store in my town to fit them. Despite this though I was more than stoked with the Bridgestones, and would certainly buy the new RE003s based on my experience with these tyres.

Mitsubishi Galant VR-4
An excellent tyre for the price
I have had these tyres on my car for about 3 years now and they were a huge improvement over the old Yokohamas that were on it before. I am talking about superior in pretty much every single way - road noise, comfort, grip, braking and handling. Treadwear rating seems low, but I ve now done about 20,000 Kms in them and they still have more than 60% tread left. This surprised me as I didn t expect them to last that long. Tested in both dry and wet and they are great. They have now been superseded by the RE003 and I would definitely buy them to replace the RE002s. What a great bang for buck performance tyre!

2009 Ford Mondeo XR5
YES!!! with a but....or no with a maybe...or I drive like my hair is on fire!!!
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.

2013 fiesta fiesta st
Good grip in dry terrible in wet
I purchased a set of re002 from kmart tyre and auto for 250 a corner. I was quite happy with the bridgestone re050a oem tyres that were originally on my fiesta st as the handling in both dry and wet were fantastic apart from the road noise on coarse roads. I decided to give the re002 a go as it superceded the re050a and I liked the aggressive look of the tyres. I have done about 5000km now and with the tyres on the front axle and wear rate is good with about 6 to 7mm left. I always keep pressure up high to around 38psi. I have found the grip in the dry to be quite good but awful in the wet. I get wheel spin and loss of traction in 1st and second gear and my car understeer badly when taking corners. I m disappointed with these tyres as the re050a was far superior all round and gave me confidence in the wet. Its a shame as the general review for these tyres has been Positive. I m going to move to the the michelin pilot sport 3 as the reviews for these tyres are fantastic. Won t be buying bridgestone re002 again that s for sure.
