Er300 or Re001

[maxx3]

I am upgrading the tyres and wheels on my Mazda 3 Maxx sedan from 15 inch to 17inch.

My two tyre choices are Bridgestone Er300 or Adrenalin Re001.
The tyre place says that the ER300's will give good grip and longer life than the Adrenalin's which will produce 'awesome' grip at a shorter life.

My question is in a standard 2.0L Mazda 3 do I really need the 'awesomeness' of the adrenalin's grip or am I getter off with the ER300's.

The car is manly used for commuting, some country driving and occasionally (ie once every 1 to 2 months) a quick drive up the hills.

Thanks for your help guys.

PS.
if its any help my original tyre size was 195/60/15 and new will be 215/45/17

If u have suppension mods get a grippy tyre. The advantage about the Neo,maxx is they are lighter so in the corners with the right handling mods there great ( I had coilovers, 18's on the Neo it would out perform my mps )

What is the difference in tyre price?? If it's sweet stuff all then go for the RE001's.. You'll still get good wear out of them, especially if you're not hard on your tyres.

+1.

I put RE001's on wifey's MX5. Great tyre and is wearing very well. The only time it gets pushed though is when I'm driving it

I've had my RE001's for about 22k km's, about 4k kms left - trackday + skidpan day been done as well as driven hard just about all the time... if that's anything.

which is better in the wet - braking/cornering?

[Lardman]

In the wet the adrenalins have a more aggressive tread pattern so logic dictates yes. That said, I don't think you'll be pushing limits with a stock Mazda3

how about a diesel :P nearly as much wheelspin on demand as you boys!
