Bridgestone RE003 tread depth

Postby hks_kansei » Thu Mar 22, 2018 2:07 pm

Does anybody have a set of RE003 that are new or fairly new?

One of mine has a cut in the tread and is leaking, so I want to see if I can get away with replacing a single, or if i'll have to buy a pair.

My tyres are maybe 12 months old, and have only done maybe 10,000km max, so shouldnt have much wear, but even so, if I can measure it it would be better.

If you had the tyres fitted at a Bridgestone dealer, you can get it replaced under their road hazard warranty.

The 4 for the price of 3 deal may still be on. I got a set a few weeks back @ $155 a corner it's good value.

It's a good deal for sure, but when the set are lucky to be a year old at most I'm not really wanting to replace all 4 because one has a slow leak.
