Description
The Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE004 is a summer, maximum performance tire that’s well-regarded for its sporty handling and grip, particularly in dry conditions, and improved wet performance compared to its predecessor, the RE003.
Key Features and Performance:
- Dry Grip:The RE004 is praised for its excellent dry grip and responsiveness, making it feel planted and precise during cornering.
- Wet Grip:While the RE003 was already known for its grip, the RE004 reportedly offers a noticeable improvement in wet conditions.
- Handling:Drivers report that the RE004 provides crisp and responsive handling, particularly at turn-in.
- Noise:Some users have noted that the RE004 is quieter than previous generations of Potenza tires, and even quieter than some standard road tires.
- Wear:The asymmetric design of the tire allows for cross-rotation, which can help to even out wear, though some users have noted that wear can be a bit higher than some other tires.
- Value:The RE004 is often considered a good value for the performance it offers.
Compared to the RE003:
- The RE004 is generally seen as an improvement over the RE003, with better wet grip and potentially quieter performance.
- It features a wider inside rib and a compound with more evenly-spread silica, which may contribute to the improved handling and grip.
Considerations:
- While the RE004 is a popular choice for sporty driving, some users have noted that it may not offer the same level of wet grip as some other high-performance tires like the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5.
- Some users have also mentioned that the wear on the RE004 can be a bit higher than some other tires, though the ability to cross-rotate can help mitigate this.
