Here's my review after using RE003 for 5,000km. My ride is Merc C220 W203 CDi. I will be comparing this with PS3 (Been using PS3 for 8 years or so). Dry performance RE003 is the clear winner. Comfort level, PS3 a bit better than RE003. Noise, again PS3 a bit better. Wet performance, I can say it is on par with PS3, the same goes for it aquaplaning resistance. I never encountered any skidding problem or losing control when heavy downpour. In conclusion, if u do not mind losing a bit of comfort level for better performance, RE003 would be a great choice given their price.

In the wet, straight and corners very confirming but when it hit water patches there's a scare a bit where the steering wobbled a bit. I suggest do not take the shallow water patch lightly as it may introduce aquaplanning to a certain degree, stay below 100kmh. Although Ive hit 120kmh easy with this tyres in wet but feedbacks from streering when running thru crossing water or like 1cm deep ones were hairy, heart bursting moments.

I got my 225/40/18 RE003 from Hin Tyre in Sri Sentosa (they only have FB it seems, and I can't open the link - try Googling them). I remember they had it in that size too, last I was there. Having said that, I've been told (by Bridgestone) there is a shortage of RE003s in Klang Valley.
