yes; to quote an earlier post of mine:
Bridgestone's replacement for the RE002, the RE003, is just released & stocks are now available in Australia. It's too soon for there to be any tyre tests available on it but the preview drive reports I've seen have been favourable. From what I can gather it sounds to be as crisp & taut as the 002 but with added wet grip. All very promising sounding. It's available in 195/55-15 & currently (until the end of April) available on a "4 for the price of 3" basis. The local BJ quote for me (for 195/55-15 for a friend's son) was $120.25 per corner.
cheers! Peter
RE003 are on a 4 for the price of 3 offer at Bridgestone now
You're kidding me, I bought a set of 4 just last Thursday at a Bridgestone store, and nothing was mentioned about any upcoming deals...
Very happy with the tyres so far by the way, 195 55 15 fitted to 205 Speedlines, very grippy and quiet, even in these early days.
Ouch.
I'd be paying them them a "not happy' visit.
I like bridgestone, but almost all the suppliers in my area are complete dickheads so it is becoming harder and harder to continue to support that brand.

I just put a new set of 195 50 15 RE003s on my 205 replacing a set of RE001s. Very good in the wet!!
After 3 weeks I think they are as good as my Toyo 888s, and I may use them for future bitumen motorkhanas (far cheaper than the 888s!).
They appear huge in cross section though (Should have put 185 55 15 on the std 6" rims) A bit late now!

Ah, so they have kept the same over-size sizing.
The re002 in 195/55/r15 was something like 203mm wide on a 6.5inch rim.
There was a seth African bridgestone website that gave real data on sizing.
Might be worth looking up in future.

I agree, I bought mine about 6 weeks ago and the deal was running then...
Interesting to hear that the RE003 has a nice wide tread pattern. I really like the Michelin PS3 as a good road tyre, but they are always quite skinny compared to other brands when fitted on the wheels.
Might give the RE003 a shot as I'm due for tyres on the 205 shortly. Be interested to hear what others think of them.
Really love the Federal 595 RS-R as a great value performance tyre, but given I commute in the 205 often, I thought I'd be better with something a bit more road oriented.

Ouch with extra cringe.
Before we all make Pugly 306 cry, it might be worth him checking if the seller included the discount in the price.

Nice. How wide are the 434s again? Extra half an inch? Love those wheels!
Love them. Always wanted a set, but they seem pretty hard to come by.
Doesn't look like re003s are available in 185. I'm refurbishing a set of speed lines at the moment, and will need to decide on tyres soon!
