Can you tell me what is the traction rating, and threadwear for this re003?..

I'm have order re003 from tyre shop in melaka and been qouted rm170 for size 195/50/R15..

The price exclude gst, and allingnment..good deal for me.but, somehow I kinda worried this

tyre will wear out fast..currently using conti cc5..plan to change to ps3..but ps3 no stock..

re003 is equivalent to ps3,,no regret on that part..

First after been informed, about the price per piece for this re003..I feel like, wow.what a bargain..but, the threadwear of 220, seems like this tyre have a very short lifespan..currently using cc5 with 360 threadwear..use from 2011..haha..never regret order this model..safety is more important than money afterall...my tyres just arrived to tyre shop this afternoon..tomorrow will change it..cant sleep,so excited..first time using high performance tyres..haha..Im dunno will feel the difference or not on dry tarmac..but, on wet road..for sure will feel.

Hahaha..that cc5 my father,the one who purchase it back then..now, he ask me to recommend the tyre for this 195/50 R15..for sure I will choose the most ultra high peformance tyre..but, I really worried in term of price, durability and performance because this re003 will be put on SAGA LMST..Hahaha..so funny, SAGA LMST wear Potenza..I feel like, what happen if use this RE003 and I does not feel difference with cc5..that is what I think b4 change into this RE003..

Ok, a bit initial review of Potenza Adrenalin RE003..
After change from CC5 into RE003.I really feel the tyre damn shiok.so sticky and make the ride a little bit higher..the tyre also very very very noisy..I can hear the tyres scream a little even at 50kmph speed..can u imagine if I speeding up to 200km using this tyres..just kidding, saga cant achieve that speed..haha.but, at highway speed for sure this tyre will be roaring compared to ordinary tyres..yesterday in Melaka, there is a heavy downpour and I try to push this car..To my surprise, the tyres is really good..I can still feel the grip,not like cc5 of course.So, this tyres is really recommended if u find high performance tyres..

May I know what UHP tyre that u use?..Yah, I do agree on the part of AA traction tyres is more better than A rating but different manufacture rate different

their tyre and unfortunately some of them have put inaccurate traction rating for their tyres..take example Bridgestone..Even their highest Potenza which is

Potenza S001 that cater for sports car are rate only A for traction..whereas Continental put AA traction for Continental Premium Contact 2..My brother use

this tyre on honda insight and mind you, this tyre is mile away backward compared to Re 003..the threadwear rating is also one thing..Some manufacturer

put a rate of 400 for AA traction tyre..that is totally bullshit..Genuine extreme performance tyre maximum treadwear must not exceed 300 else the tyre

cannot be called extreme performance..Extreme performance tyres is so sticky how come can wear for so long without lose thread..Btw, what Im telling is the

rate on tyre is not accurately describe the tyre..I have read the review on re003 and some said it is better than ps3 that have AA rating..it also comparable to

other ultra performance tyre..given the price, its is a steal deal actually..

Just saw parked Mazda 6 2.5 with Bridgestone.not sure Potenza or Turanza.but there is a high possibility the tyre is from Potenza series.19inch sports rims.I dont think Turanza have that bigger size in their line up. Btw, what is your size and price of S001?..must be expensive right?..S001 really gooding or not?.

Wet performance really good..cut through water like a piece of cake..dry performance does not feel that large different.maybe because my car does not have enough power to push it into the limit..I think better u call first, this tyre shop and ask for this re003..because, this tyre is really new..they does not keep it, in their warehouse.maybe u can said, got recommendation from Honda Insight MCC plate number when u calling them.not for my commission, I don't take any, but for your discount.try negotiate kaw2 with them.hahaha..

As for noise, it depends on car. If your car have a very good sound insulation, then the sound might not be too obvious..but, the noisy is there.really different compared to ordinary tyre.b4 this, using cc5, I cant hear any noise, because using sports exhaust. but after change into re003, I can hear the tyre rolling..so, imagine how noisy this tyre is. after-all, its depends on types of car.if ur car have good NVH, then should be no problems.

How much do you bought the tyre?.the tyre really good or not?.Im also keen on Yoko AD08, but the price is really expensive..been qoute rm370 for one piece of tyre..give up because dont want to spend too much on 15" tyre.lol
