Polo 6R Tyre Advice

Might do the same. Anyone here running the Adrenalin Re002's on the PGTI and got any comments over stock ? Reading the info on Tyre Reviews they appear alot better than the Dunlops.

Bridgestone Adrenalin RE002 | the Bridgestone Adrenalin RE002 reviewed and rated | the online tyre guide

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx | the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx reviewed and rated | the online tyre guide

Either mid May or Early June Dunlop will cease production of the Dunlop Sport Maxx range, so far the RE-002 has great grip if the pressure and tyre temps are moderate what I like is the tread life I think the tread count is 300-320?

I'm tossing up beween federal 595 rs-r or the RE002. The RE002 by all reports is a phenominally good tyre, especially in the wet considering the tread patterns on the tyres. So, my choices now are RE002, Dirrezza z2 or RS-R.... Leaning toward RE002 because as Hail pointed out, the tread wear is meant to be bloody good for an ultra performance tyre. I've gotten 40,000kms out of my Sport Maxx's so if I can get that out of the RE002 then that would be great.

215/40r17 87W

got a free wheel alignment chucked in after my wheels were covered in tyre grease! (which is gone now as I just washed them).

that equates to $167.3 per tyre



Bit of bait for you guys to nibble on before you decide to jump on this incredible deal!

You sure you got an alignment?

You sure you got an alignment?

Obviously only the toe can be adjusted...which it was...it was pulling slightly to the right and now it seems better now.

I've got 17" RSRs on my other car which is RWD and about 100kgs heavier than the Polo. Dry grip is phenomenal for a street tyre and very predictable at the limit, but with a treadwear rating of 100 you'd likely get 15000ks max out of a set. Surprisingly the noise level isn't much higher than something like Sport Maxxs. Wet grip is not great but driving normally for wet conditions you should not have any problems.
RSRs pick up a lot of gravel and throw it into the inner guards and most sizes also look a bit chunky on the rim when compared to most other tyres which some may not like.

For an all rounder I think RE002 is looking pretty good, I wouldn't go the RSRs and if I was going to track it I would get proper R types.

Bridgestone also do the Potenza S001 in 215/40/17 87Y. Has anyone tried this tyre on the PGTI?

I am still running my stock Bridgestone RE050, but I was wondering, when you guys took your car in for service, did they do a tyre rotation? I can see the sheet they provided me showed the tread left on each tyre, but didn't mention a rotation.

The sheet showed the fronts are more 'used' than the rears by 3-5mm.
