RE002 or Nokian zLine

[JDM_Dan]

Anyone had experience of either and would like to give their opinion?

I only have 2000 km on the RE002 (195/50 R15) . I do some spirited driving and the grip is excelent on dry and wet. My buddy with a CRX did a track day at Hugaroring and he said that he was impressed of the amount of grip on cornering and braking ,tread wear is minimal ( 5000 km and a trak day).
RE002 are supposed to replace RE050 tyres.
Also a good feedback for the Nokian Z line on a Accord Type R

Thank you for your quick review! Im going to purchase a set tomorrow and think I will go for the RE002's!

Re002 replace re001

@JDM_Dan , try to avoid the tyres older the 2013. The tyres may be fabricated in : Indonesia , Thailand , India and from late 2012 also in japan. This was to the last events in japan ( tsunami , earthquakes ) and the production was moved to those countries.

@ Kulo :Yes they do replace de RE001 tyre but to another level the RE002 and S001 series will replace the RE050 tyre.
The S001 will be focus on performance and exotic cars .
The RE002 will be more focused on less exotic cars like hot hatches and medium cars

How is RE002 vs Hankook RS2 anyone tried both?

I've been using RS2 for 3 years and i like them alot but these new Bridgestone have a nice price and that make me think..

 

[JDM_Dan]

Ive never used RS2s but heard alot of good things about them, where can I find them though?

@Tsuchinoko : Like JDM_Dan said , the RS2 are excellent tyres and they are on different league than RE002.
@ Cesare : come back with feedback after some xxxx miles
