quick response from bridgestone

"The Adrenalin RE001 pattern is currently being replaced by the Adrenalin RE002 pattern, however the majority of 60-series sizes are remaining as RE001.
The 185/60R14 size is one of these sizes that will remain the RE001 pattern.

Currently we have 198 units of the RE001 in the 185/60R14 size available in NSW warehousing and approx 450 units nationally."

So there are plenty out there, they are staying in a re001 pattern. I doubt a group buy would be any cheaper then the current deal.
At $80 a tyre (at 4 for 3), i am more than fine with that price.

Thanks Redondo! Great to have it confirmed that RE001s are still available in 185/60R14. They're excellent "bang for bucks" for NA owners.

they will still have release agent on them but even so they are plenty grippy. a little more compliant than the toyo r1r's they replace. funnily enough they are actually taller (maybe a couple of mm) even though the r1r's were 205 50's. might be because the tread was down quite low on the r1r's though.

i got them from bridestone select at annandale on paramatta road.

Gee that sounds like a good price... that's fitted too right?

Do people know how often these deal occur?

Hmm...I was thinking about Hayden's tyres but these do look like a good deal!

Vic, might need to reconsider my thoughts on these.

Jebus...

RE002s

195/50/15 at $140 fitted (i.e. $105 each after discount!)

but

205/50/15 at $206 fitted (or $154.50 each after discount)

I think I better lock the 195s in this weekend!

I got a set of 185/60 R14 RE001s. They have to order them in but they come at $345 for a set of 4 tyres.

That's $86.25 each!!

Got mine from Bridgestone in Hornsby. Great service there. no affili.
