The First model in the line Potenza Japanese manufacturer Bridgestone appeared in 1979. Even then, the tires were intended for the active drive. Owners of sports cars are actively buying these tires for a short time formed a very positive image. Judging by the fact that the Japanese have not stopped the production line, she was in great demand. In 2007, a model RE001, and in 2011 - Bridgestone Potenza RE002 Adrenalin. It is something we will consider in more detail in this article.
Currently, tyres RE002 is available in 32 versions. However, the number of dimensions is not too varied - 15 to 18 inches. But other characteristics, such as width and height, vary quite strongly. That is why the line is represented as low-profile tires, and conventional. This also applies to the width. Everyone will be able to choose what is more suitable for the riding style. But the sports component remains.
First impressions visual inspection of the tires is very positive. The tread pattern is aggressive, it can be called even "fanged". The impression is created because the form of the large predator canines grooves for water drainage. This itself is rubber hard enough, at least until you put and not ride on it a few miles.
Should pay attention to the fact that currently this is one of the most purchased models of summer tyres company Bridgestone. The Japanese have other equally worthy contenders, but specifically RE002 loved more. The asymmetric tread pattern with unusual shape of the drainage channels and protective Board is ideal to use rubber on a wet road. Due to the shoulder blocks is provided with a high level of adhesion with the road.

Using modern technology and high quality rubber compound allowed Japanese engineers to reduce drag and save on fuel. However, the difference is barely noticeable, but it is still there.
Conspicuous Central groove for water drainage. It has a variable width in different parts of the tire. This design was tested and only then implemented. Aquaplaning at speed limit on such tires is not threatened. Tires Bridgestone Potenza RE002 Adrenalin, which will be discussed a little below, known by the almost complete absence of noise.
Immediately after the appearance of this model on the shelves of auto shops started active testing. It was carried out by both experts and ordinary motorists. But regardless of who was driving, noticed the following benefits:
Many drivers allocate another, not less important is the presence of stiff sidewall tires. It protects the rubber from the appearance of the hernias during strikes, which is extremely important for the Russian roads, especially if you get into the pit at high speed that sometimes it happens.
Very different opinions were formed about the tires Bridgestone Potenza RE002 Adrenalin. Expert reviews are that the increased stiffness of the cords and of the tread makes the tire to deform and that is absolutely correct. On the other hand, such a rubber smooths out even the smallest bumps, so every bump is felt. Although in this case much depends on the car's suspension.
But despite the fact that RE002 is a very hard rubber, it has its advantages. First, the driver feels the quality of the road and the grip with a cloth, depending on it takes appropriate action. Secondly, you need to say about the handling, which cannot be compared to anything. Rubber, despite the fact that it's summer and no Velcro, "stick" to the asphalt, thereby creating a high resistance. Specifically, in this case the stiffness of the rubber is justified.
Notable is the behavior on wet pavement Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002 91W. The manufacturer on several occasions drew the attention of buyers. First, compared to the RE001 predecessor, there was a "throbbing" groove.
This technology was borrowed from motorsports and successfully implemented in automobile tires. The main purpose of this technology is to quickly and effectively remove moisture from the contact patch and add resistance to sliding. Complemented by "pulsing" the groove corresponding deflector, which is located at its bottom.
Japanese engineers have modified a few and silicic composition. He now meets all international standards. The presence of silicon makes the behavior of the car on wet roads more predictable. In addition, the manufacturer notes that tyre Bridgestone Potenza RE002 Adrenalin (205/55/r16) faster out of the water wedge, but check out this quite difficult.
According to the manufacturer, the tires serve about 3-4 seasons in active operation. But in practice this is often not the case. The fact is that wheelspin at the start and sharp braking can significantly increase the tread wear. But far more terrible are the deep holes and various road junctions.
It Should be noted that the power cord is manufactured, it resists to impacts. However, the lower the profile, the greater the chance to earn non-repairable hernia. In practice, this rubber lasts about 3 seasons. Often when reaching a critical level of wear, handling and resistance to aquaplaning deteriorates significantly, and the ride on these tires becomes uncomfortable.
As for the noise while riding, for many this factor when buying tires is the determining factor. Especially after the winter season, I want peace and tranquility. Can not be called very quiet tires Bridgestone Potenza RE002 Adrenalin. Reviews rather inclined to think that it is quite noisy. But it all depends on what to compare.
If you take the example of rubber premium 15 thousand for the tyre, RE002 loses. If the competitors to consider one price range, no major differences. In terms of acoustic comfort "Adrenaline" can be attributed to the middle class. Enough to close the Windows, and the cabin is quiet.
Almost every motorist compares the RE001 and RE002, especially if used the first and the second. Developers of the new version of rubber able to improve indications of aquaplaning. No discomfort even at a speed of 120 km/h on the wet asphalt. The car does not catch the water wedge, and if this happens, the car goes out of a dangerous situation faster and this is very important. It is worth noting that sharp corners do not cause problems, high small possible demolition of the front part of the car. The car such tires confident cornering.
In General, it is more elaborate rubber than RE001. The tread pattern was more aggressive predecessor, but its effectiveness was much lower. In any case, this is a great choice for sporty driving on wet and dry asphalt. However, clay or sand on the road significantly impair the controllability, which is a disadvantage of this type of tire.
First of all I would like to note the improvement in almost all performance characteristics. For example, the reinforced sidewall was very helpful. In this focus many motorists. During the years of operation usually does not appear to be a hernia. However, there is a minus - breaking drives. Because rubber is tough and durable, part of the impact force is transmitted to the molded or extruded disk.
Marked by a rather high life, can withstand more than 60 thousand mileage on roads of different quality. Pretty good for a sports tyre, considering the quality of our roads. It is worth to mention stable behavior of the tire in a rut. Quite an important indicator for tires of this kind, especially if we are talking about high speeds.
The Number of advantages, as you can see, is quite large. But there are some small flaws, which are also worth paying attention to. First, as noted above, rubber is designed exclusively for pure asphalt. Let him be wet, but most importantly - clean. The presence on the road surface of dirt or clay kills the handling and all positive emotions. Second, what has already been mentioned, the cord is quite tough. Therefore, the full impact of the blows remain on wheel disks. It is rather a disadvantage than an advantage.
In Addition, the low-profile tires ...
