Just want to share my experience on RE003 after using this tire for 2 weeks.
Dry condition:
Lots of grip. Can whack corners at high speed with confidence (tire didn't event scream)... No complain on this department
Wet condition:
Sadly.... it performed below my expectation. Was driving on highway couple of days ago and it started to rain (not heavy). I can feel the front wheel starts to aquaplane around 130-140kph. With this, I've also lost confidence when braking under wet condition.
Tire noise:
Same like RE002.... still noisy but I can bare with it (just pump up the car's player volume and problem solved)
Tire wears:
Cant comment much as I've just used the tire for 2 weeks only. Plus I didn't put high hope on it. What do you expect from a 200 rating on the tire wears?
Conclusion:
This is very subjective... It depends on car, tire spec, road condition & driving style. I've used/tried PS3, RE002 & AS2 before switching to RE003. On dry performance, I wont say which one performed the best as I find them all equally good. But when it comes to wet conditions, personally I find AS2 performed the best. Driving 150kph in heavy rain, no issue. It cut through water like hot knife through butter
Even after putting 15k into it, it still feels good in the rain. Among the 4 tires that I've used, I placed RE003 last when it comes to wet performance. RE002 performed way better in the wet condition compared to RE003.
So for me, overall this tire doesn't fulfill my requirement/expectation. I know some people might disagreed with my views but like I said earlier.... it depends on car, tire spec, road condition & individual driving style.
Car: CL7-R
Tire spec: 225/45/17
Side note:
My original plan was to get the all new AS3 but sadly Goodyears Malaysia is taking its own sweet time bringing in that tire into Malaysia despite the tire is already out since Feb 2016. Because of this, I was forced to change to RE003 because my previous AS2 has becomes slick tires
Good luck with your tire hunting.....
