Reviews of BS Potenza RE002

[LucasChng]

The outer shoulder cannot clear much water.

Here is N8000...

Real big! The rubber contact is like only 60%?

The more Groove(Longkang) on tread, the more good in wet.
Same as opposite less, better in dry.
So tyre maker have to balance out the design, that why asymmetric design become popular nowadays.
One side for dry, and another side for wet.

Re002- please take note only 3 groove available, if compare to N8000 (4 groove).
Even though with big groove but only with 3 row.

That is why Pros and cons. Good for aquaplane resistance but not good for dry traction. Less rubber contact...

Asymmetric pattern more for cornering, that is why more rubber on outer shoulder, to take the cornering force, and more rubber for traction. To compensate weak wet handling they make the inside with larger grooves. So it becomes neither this nor that or what layman say 50/50.

Most shops do. Ahaha. It's definitely noisier and bumpier than my previous Kumho Ecsta HM's.

Just be extra caution when raining time, hope u wont regret.
205/50R15 should be made from Indonesia if not mistaken, u buy expensive or cheap ?

 

[issuzark]

Not sure how cheap is 250 each though.
Today it was raining... So far.. Not so different from my old tires. Not that they were good though. So I don't know what's the benchmark yet. Aha.

He have 15" second hand rims, but not sure he stack where. Unless you really interested, can ask them to show you. As you saw yesterday there were rims stacked all over the place.

Yesterday you deal with Ivan mah! The boss only saw me later and I don't think he was involved in your deal....
