[floody31]

They do any 13" sizes? 175/50, 175/60 or 185/60 R13 perhaps?

[ae71]

I'm going to get some of these and store them in my roof for 12months...

so they go nice and hard, you get uber long mileage ;)

[RobertoX]

[Driftspec]

*drools*

8" rims I'm guessing? Even on 7", they would look... :fap:

[seek]

so is this a limited time type thing? is it becomming apart of their production range?

[ae71neo]

Awesome news :)

i don't understand these tyres. do they make different tyres for both passenger and drivers side?

[federal]

no, that is the only downfall to them

[steroidchickens]

this thread would be a perfect place to sell my 15" work equips :lol:

just jokin, i have heard alot of good things about these tyres.

[RobertoX]

[RobertoX]

i wish you scabs wouldn't put your asses in the picture

[samoo]

picking up some asap

[RobertoX]

winner! let us know how they go!

[510lj]

have had these on the rear for drifting and after one night id use them everytime if i could afford to lol. theyre awesome

[hachirusto]

anyone know who has these in melbourne atm?

[RobertoX]

theyre made in adelaide (the drift city - just jokes)

any only finished last friday, only 60 were made, so I'm not sure if any will be going to melboure...

I can send you some if you get desperate

ring a bridgestone select store and ask them

cheers

[DRFTPG]

wish someone would make some decent 13 inch tyres!! for the front the only option seems to be semi slicks but they cost a shitload!!

[Konakid]

Thats why you use 14's ;)

Too true - grow up Sonny :P

Nah too little a market for smaller rims (doof doof bru), so I reckon you're luck they are making that many. They'll sell though, and might convince them to make some more = win.

[RobertoX]

any other states got these?

[hachirusto]

called up the bridgestone tyre place near me , they had them at $119 each on the wheel, got to finishing cleaning my wheels up then going to get them put on.

[RobertoX]

^ awesome post up your results when youve got them on!

[marvis]

Much difference in price compared to the 15's and 16's?

marvis.

[RobertoX]

14s cheapest then 15s bit more then 16s a bit more again

probably 15% more i guess pending size

[James86]

will there be a 195 60 r14?

[RobertoX]

at this stage no

[GHETTOKE70]

spewing i just got dragons a week ago, will hit ya up for some soon

[RobertoX]

word! would be a good comparo between japans finest and italys finest haha

[oni]

I'd be curious too, I've had the Dragons for a year now and they are excellent, so I'd be interested in seeing what sort of difference there is.

I did notice the tread is lower than I thought on my tyres though... :D

[johnny_08]

just bought some for $140 each for 15"195/50, havent tested them yet tho, seem nice as i have never driven on good tyres before

[malohi]

I got 195/50/15s on the front , very impressed, nowhere near as noisy as the GIII'sand steering feels much nicer.
As for no good 13" available. I picked up some GIII's 205/60/13s a few days ago, there is still quite a few gettin round. Just go straight to a bridgestone shopfront and they can check on the interstate surplus. I got 1 ordered in from S.A and one from W.A.
I hope adrenalin comes out in 13s tho

[Todd]

we still havent got these in WA.

fuckers.

sent my local bridgstone an email (Reynella) this is their response.

"Need to know what type of car , model & year to ensure we quote on correct size for vehicle.
195/50R15 Adrenalin RE001 are on special until the end of this month at $145.00 less $5.00 if you are a member of the RAA. This includes fitting and balancing.
There is also a $2.50/tyre scrap levy if there are any old tyres to be disposed of.
Thanks Kevin"

not a bad price i guess. anyone know of the km of relatively normal driving you can get out of them ?

[RobertoX]

ive done 200...lol...will keep people updated

there is a price rise looming tho

[MountainRunner]

ill be getting a pair for my 14x8s when i get my car :D

[johnny_08]

would -2.5 camber be too much for street usage for these tyres? as they are exp (to me anyway)

ps: i do take corners quite quickly

[RobertoX]

if the tyre wears evenly then youve found what camber best suits your budget

[johnny_08]

well my last tyres were crappy bob jane things with max camber ( -4 or somethin close to) and they seemed fine after a long while and 1 rotation on the front

[MountainRunner]

i noticed with -2.5 id drive around then feel the tire and i chould feel the camber wear then after a track day the tire was dead even! so if the car gets trashed once in a while it should be ok :P

14x 7.5 with adrenalin tyres

[attachment=30238:100_2529_copy.jpg]

[Konakid]

^^Yeah boy!

To find out how much camber you need, go for a hard hills runs and take a temp sensor gun with you, measure the tyre at the inner, middle and outer, if the outer edge is hotter than the inner then you need more camber. If its colder then you need less camber.

Damn, I've been thinking for ages now that I wanted 15s, but that photo makes me think I want some 14s. What's the offset on those wheels, if you please? And have you got the same size on the front? I'd appreciate it if you could put up another pic or two, or even PM me with a couple, so as not to completely hijack this thread. heh

Thanks.

It's called an a-symetrical tyre. It means that one side has to stay on the inside, and the other outside (clearly labelled on the tyre sidewall). There is no disadvantage to this. Especially considering most of Bridestone's range are making a-symetrical tyres. So are Pirreli and Yokohama. Deffinitly the best tyre for 14's with out going semi slick.

[Anthony]

Hardly Japans finest if they're made in Adelaide though surely?? Aren't out of rounders made in Adelaide too? I had a look at some and the finish seemed pretty poor, just a lot more dags around the molds etc. How do they drive??

I totaly agree i have some jap made adrenalins and the finish is perfect. And the local made ones seem to b crap. I run 195 50 15s adrenalins on the rear of my drift car and i used 2 sets of jap made and they were perfect i wore them till the were zero. Then i ran adelaide made pair and 2 laps in from brand new they delamanated totaly different tyre jdm - adm. But at $110 for 195 50 15
and $100 for 185 60 14 you carnt go wrong good grip
