Bridgestone adrenalin Re-001 in the wet

[Limbo]

r ur tyres worn? also you've had them for 2yrs now...

[power_of_dreams]

no, not even. I've only had them for about 6 weeks.

just curious as to what people are getting out of them since they are supposedly a softer compound due to being more "street sport" orientated.

are you a p plater
with lack of driving experience ?

comon give the guy a break.
I have to say they were one of the best tyres i got, even on a boosted car so long as i don't flat boost the car in the wet they were fine and i was only running 195/55/15

Back on topic

i got RE001's. 195/50/15
Been thru approx 20,000ks over 2 years , 6 drag race meets and 5 full day track days. Tyres are still OK (+60&#37 front n rear.
Car is lowered approx. 2.25 inches front n rear and alignments every 8-10,000kms. Appear to have even wear.

As for wet weather driving - it wheel spins all over the shop. No different to any other tyre.

I didn't read the entire thread but I have found the RE001 on my car (stock-ish DC5R) to give acceptable traction in wet conditions. If I am a little keen with the throttle they will spin all the way to redline but that is typical of any tyre. They are an okay compromise as a sporty street tyre. To expect anything more is foolish.

I have 205/50/15's running a 1.8 L on a light chassis. as like the above two posts, generally have no problem. If I step hard in the wet it will wheel spin but that is to be expected.

I have a set of these in 205/50/16 on my WRX and i'm very happy with them. Wet grip is not as good as the Goodyear F1s they replaced but, not too far off.

Can't beat physics.

old thread i know but just putting in my input.

grip in the dry is great but in the wet it's like walking over fresh dogshit.

agree with OP, wheelspin on hill starts and no traction entering and/or powering out of a corner.
