yeah, I also like the AP1 Bridgestone Potenza S-02, but I feel that they over steer at times..even though they are a little bit wider than the AP2 V2 stock ones. I have been using these in daily driving for the last 6 months until I got the AP2 V2 Stock tires. Currently the AP1 rears (225/50-16) has 30% tread & fronts(205/55-16) has 75% tread left on. Since they are sitting in my garage , I want to use them as track tires, but I might need to replace the rears ..


The car has no mods whatsoever & has not been lowered. Since I need to replace my rears on AP1 (16") anyway, I am willing to try any other better tire than Stock S-02...?

IMO, the AP2's RE050 (215/45-17 || 245/40-17) are great & handles really well on dry & daily conditions. I felt much more comfortable & confident with these on limecreek & harris hill drive. Not to mention that they saved my ass on 2222 when I spun out of control..

Yeah, I would totally jump on a set of the RE010's as a spare set if I had the money.
