Woohoo, need to replace my racing slick RE003's and what great timing.
Got my set of RE003 235/45R17 @ JAX for $507 for all 4 balanced.

Offer is at JAX, Bridgestone and Bob Janes maybe others?

EDIT2: JAX finally has a T&C's page explaining the $20 extra charge https://www.jaxtyres.com.au/promotions/bridgestone-potenza-4…
Standard charges for fitting, balancing, tubeless valve, waste tyre management fee & GST apply for the 4th tyre for all tread patterns (eg. $20).

    Thanks for uploading the deal OP although Bridgestone RE003 tyres are neither slicks or semi-slicks, they are part of Bridgestone's Potenza performance road tyre range. Unlike the old RE001 which were great in the dry but horrible in the wet, the RE003s are good in both wet and dry however they are fairly noisy.

    Also it's not just Bridgestone's Potenza which are buy 3 get the 4th tyre free, it's also on their Turanza Serenity Plus Ecopia car and SUV tyres as well.
    Finally there's up to 80$ cashback on 4 Supercat SUV or light van tyres and up to $100 cash back on Bridgestone Dueler or Alenza SUV or 4X4 tyres.

      Haha they sure do look like racing slicks when you wear them down to that level.

      Hence why I was pleased there was a sale as finally ready to replace them.

      Actually the ectopia deal is ending in a few days this is the new deal and only includes Potenza as I understand it.

      Interesting you find them noisy.. I've had three sets now and have never considered them to be a noisy tyre.

      • bobs burgers on 26/07/2019 - 15:28

        Id say they are probably not the quietest, but same, definitely not noisy.
        Maybe its the roads, the road surface itself makes a huge difference to noise, regardless of whichever tyre you have on.

          I got S001's to replace my worn PS3's and found the new Bridgies nearly as noisy as the worn out Michelins. As the S001's got more use they got noisier. They also get more clownwheel when cold too. I will go back to Michelin when these Bridgestone tyres are ready for replacement.

          • bobs burgers on 26/07/2019 - 20:51

            @rodericb: I at one point wanted to try the s001 but couldn't justify it all things considered with the re003.

            So I don't have experience with them but fair point.
            I guess one thing to consider is that noise, like taste and many other things is subjective.
            One person's noisy is another person's normal.

            Unfortunately there is no try before you buy with tyres, I guess live it up for now and hope you ignore it soon

      I did one of their online quotes when they had a buy 3 tyres get the 4th free deal last year and the price was pretty good.
      Go to the website then Stores -> Select the store -> Get quote
      For Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 235/45R17 97W is was $483.00 with:
      Fitting
      Wheel balancing
      Tubeless valves
      Accredited environmental scrap tyre disposal
      all included from Donnellans Collingwood. I got the quote back a couple of hours after submitting, interestingly I asked in store how much it'd be but the price they gave me in person was more expensive but I brought a print out of the quote email and they did it for that online quoted price with an apology for quoting more in store.

      One thing I noticed on JAX, don't use their crappy pricing for 4 tyres under their single tyre price.

      Use your own maths and multiply the single price x3.
      seems to be some sort of con if you just order 4 tyres on the site it chargrs higher rate then 3 tyres and 1 free.

      Use that and you will only pay $585 and not $605. Jerks!

      ID call and book tho and make sure it's the 4 for 3 deal at $585

    • itom29 on 26/07/2019 - 17:34

      You might have a less common tyre size hence the larger cost.
      Its usually safe go one width size up to a more common size - but obviously double check this with the store that this is safe to do.

    • MetalPhreak on 26/07/2019 - 20:41

      Might be helpful if you mention your tyre size.

        You technically can buy all 3 in different sizes and prices but the free tyre would be up to the value of the cheapest of the other 3.
        It shouldnt really then matter about who's what where, can easily work out between 2 parties who pays how much.

      I use them on all our cars since re001 came about.
      AWESOME tyre performance in the dry and wet.

      Please note this is not a tyre for a taxi, if you are looking for 80,000km on a set you will be severely disappointed. Try a very reasonable and very grippy 40 to 45 thousand of hard driving.

      • filfa on 26/07/2019 - 17:11

        RE003's are lucky to get 20k let alone 40-45k

          +1

          I'll beg to differ, while I am not that much into burnouts, driving hard wears down tyres quite well.

          I may have overguessed 45k. You should be able to get 35 to 40 tho. I'm well past any thread indicators right now as we speak and it's on 45k

          Im sure I could make them go in 20k but sheesh

        • sschen on 08/08/2019 - 19:37

          I have done 31k on my RE003 on a Polo GTi, and it easily still has another 30-40% of tread left. I am confident I can get another 10k out of them.

          I guess it all depends on how you drive on the roads. If you drive like a hoon/idiot on the roads, I am sure you can kill any tyres in 1k!!

    • Hellman109 on 26/07/2019 - 15:21

      I had S001's on my car, the got louder as they got older (although my will be way fatter then an Accords) but the grip and handling in wet and dry was good.

    • pitiek on 28/07/2019 - 18:52

      Had the same car and I would suggest you to get the 245/45/18 to safe some cash. More common size as it's the standard Commodore tyres.

      No, the sale is only on between 2 and 3 times a year, which is not really all the time when you need tyres outside of those sale periods.
      One can argue that you could have got them when they were on sale last time, but I didn't..

      • bobs burgers on 26/07/2019 - 15:02
        +1

        Saying all that tho, I haven't and won't buy these outside of the 4 for 3 sales for as long as they exist.
        Too good of a value to pass up and are as you say available enough throughout the year.

        I will be honest, I could have easily changed them last one or 2 sales ago.. they were already worn.

    • Hellman109 on 26/07/2019 - 15:19

      Not for performance tyres, they're nearly always excluded

  • YourImag1nat1on on 26/07/2019 - 15:36

    Same offer at Costco, although only Bridgestone stores sell Turanza Serenity Plus

    • bobs burgers on 26/07/2019 - 15:42

      It could be possibly similar/same as Bridgestone runs the promo and presumably makes available to other retailers too as they have in the past.

      While I have gotten this deal at Costco on RE001's back in the day through my olds membership its very restrictive store to consider for many people due to A) complete and utter lack of locations and B) exclusive membership.

      Even if I lived closer to Melbourne I woudnt bother getting it from Costco, purely because of the memebership. Of course this is great if you are close by and already have membership.

      • YourImag1nat1on on 26/07/2019 - 15:43

        Agreed.

      • Hellman109 on 26/07/2019 - 23:31

        Ive found Costco costs more then Tyresales and Jax Tyres, so not worth the effort even though I have a membership

    • SnoozeAndLose on 26/07/2019 - 15:49

      How much per tyre ?

      • YourImag1nat1on on 26/07/2019 - 15:57

        235/45/17 is $152 at my store including balancing, but you should ring your store to check

  • terrywang on 26/07/2019 - 16:03

    Potenza Adrenaline RE003 are generally good tyres but doesn't last long (20-35k km depending on driving style and layout FWD vs RWD vs AWD). If no buy 3 get 4th for free I'd never buy them over Michelin Pilot Sport 4 which is about 20-30/per tyre difference.

    • bobs burgers on 26/07/2019 - 16:41

      I would love to try the PS4 but can't really find the urge to try them based on the solid and reliable performance from the RE003.

        How many KMs are you able to get from your RE003s? Mine is between 20-30k KMs. Pretty bad.

        • bobs burgers on 28/07/2019 - 11:08

          I am on 44,000km on this set on the nose, they could have been replaced several months ago and I deliberately neglected to not replace them to see how far i can take them, dry grip is still there.

          Turns out they work fairly well around town even in the rain till I had a 120~KM trip with this set looking like slicks due to wear, in the pouring rain (highest speed wipers, for about 80km of the trip the steering wheel was not straight for any time).
          Anyways after that trip I decided its time to get a new set asap, should have been changed at around 35-40k km to remain "legal" ie tread wear indicators still visible…

          BTW I would strongly recommend no one drive on worn out tyres (myself included).
          Dangerous AF in the wet, probably right up with with the stupidest thing you can do in a car.

          Anyways, I dont know if you rotate the tyres? I rotate about once a year roughly ~8,000 - 10,000km and they wear evenly.

        • neo on 29/07/2019 - 11:48

          How many KM's are you getting from the PS4's? I'm wondering if the extra ~$100 total is worth it for PS4's.

  • mhc on 26/07/2019 - 16:11

          That's $300 extra over a walk in shop that is several times more convenient. And im all about online purchases but sometimes it doesn't make sense.

      Depends on your driving style, but for those vehicles, the Serenity Plus would better suit.

      • bobs burgers on 26/07/2019 - 17:44

        Bingo!

        It's all about driving style.
        You can drive an old Suzuki Swift much harder then someone with an SS commodore.

        The type of car is largely irrelevant, you could just as easily and safely get around town in Tornado brand tyres on your Ferrari if you putt around.

    • bobs burgers on 26/07/2019 - 17:41

      I have been going to JAX for a long time before they were even out this far in the west of Victoria.
      I am not loyal to them at all, but I go back A) because I have always had good service, nothing to complain about and B) because of point A and because Bridgestone is same price or more when I am buying tyres JAX wins my return business.

      Would happily go anywhere providing the price is right on the actual tyres I want, when its the same price/service or not enough difference go to any place that your gut feel tells you is good, or reviews or the actual places.
      For me, the distance to either JAX or Bridgestone is equally same, so makes no difference, only going to JAX as I have been there a long time ago and good service IMHO.

      I have had Bridgestones RE00x on 1993 Mazda 626 (15"), 05 Mitsubishi Lancer (15"), and another 2 turbo Subarus (16", 17" and 18" over years) and a Mitsubishi Magna (17").
      They were great on each of them, there is good increse in grip over what was on them previously, I drive very hard when there is nothing in harms way and these really do perform in my experience.

      The grip and confidence you get means you can drive as fast in the wet as you can in the dry generally speaking you should know your and your cars limit, which you of course never test on the road.
      I have never felt any danger at high speed in the wet, even over standing water (tho the AWD Subaru's excel at this), there is always control.

      Keep in mind the tyres on your car are the only thing holding you onto the road.
      While these are excellent tyres which allow a lot of control in any situation, as pointed out are not long lasting tyres, believe 220 threadwear.

      If you drive "normally" you may well be happier with longer lasting (in terms of KM) tyres. If you feel the need for speed, these are excellent tyres.

      Curiosity got the better of me, do bike tyres last a lot longer then car tyres (weight/etc difference).

      • dealmaker on 28/07/2019 - 13:56
        +1

        There just isn't enough variety to choose from in motorcycles, even if you want cheap ones and don't mind the minor performance loss or reduced life much. They're all just so pricey in comparison to cars. The best bet is wreckers if you want slightly cheap ones (not big enough difference there either) and you'd be lucky to find ones matching your bike. On top of that there is tyre fitting costs, which I had to pay $100/ tyre on. Painful!

      While I can't personally comment, my parents had 17" wheels on their golf a few years ago, came with Bridgestone Turanza's.

      Dad was surprised they worked well and lasted 3 years till they sold it as not liked the car in the end.
      They sold it with original tyres still could have gone on, somewhere 60k to 80k km on them. I know its a wide range but anyways…

      Your mileage may vary.

    I'm no tyre expert at all, but I know I need 225/50R17 for the family sedan. Looking for something middle ground, not cheapo and not performance. Can someone recommend what ones I should choose?

      While I can't personally comment, my parents had 17" wheels on their golf a few years ago, came with Bridgestone Turanza's.

      Dad was surprised they worked well and lasted 3 years till they sold it as not liked the car in the end.
      They sold it with original tyres still could have gone on, somewhere 60k to 80k km on them. I know its a wide range but anyways…

      Your mileage may vary.
