FastR1Red Member 360 Member For: 19y 7m 12d Gender: Male Location: Mt Waverley Posted 29/06/07 08:38 AM Share Posted 29/06/07 08:38 AM I had a look at the new Bridgestone Adrenalin's last night while I was gettin some RE55's fitted. (Not on the T)"Own the street with Adrenalin Potenza RE001 high performance tyres. The foundation of high performance driving is high level stability. The Adrenalin Potenza RE001's broader ground contact area delivers more steering information from the tyres. With better straight line stability, front / rear balance and faithful rear tyre tracking, the result is greater control giving drivers more options in varying conditions."The guy told me they'd be very well priced, and good competition for lots of other performance tyres.May pay to check em out, I'd be interested if anyone else on the forum has tried them on the street.

While its only stock I've done a few MC / AHG long track days and they have proven themselves to be ok (for the power levels). BUT that said, when its time for a change (ie more power, better brakes and suspension gear) I'll go something much grippier (what, im not sure)Can the standard rims fit any wider than 235's? or do I have to upgrade rims? Some nice simmons would be nice though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
