Since we talking about 15 inch and UHP tires are amongst ps3, re003, v12evo2 and maybe the goodyear f1 series
Dry grip - Perfect, better than your michelin PS3
Wet grip - New tires on 0 - 20k km were very good, beyond that if you enter a poodle of water at a speed of 110kph and above your car may slip and need to hold your steering proper. Raining + wind rain seasons dont recommend anything faster than 110kph
for a thread wear of 220, doing 35k km to 40k km and price lesser than that of michelin ps3, no brainer.

Would buy again. Its only this against the michelins. Until re004 that is.

Given 90% while driving a BMW 328i Coupe (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 7,000 spirited miles
I heard nothing but good review about RE003 so I did give it a try on my E36 328i. I use it mixing between daily driven and track days (like 1 2 track days per month). I have used it for about 20.000km and still really good. Overall, grip in the dry and road feedback is really good. Easy to predict before it lost its grip. Wet performance is also really good, no surprise moments so far. I don't really care about road noise so it is not a really big problem to me. Feel like it is similar to Toyo T1R, a bit quieter than AD08R. Would definitely buy it again if I still use my car for daily and track.

Please dont buy this garbage tires...shame to have Potenza name cause ive driven RE001 Made in Japan last time & its compound quality way better..its half the price of the RE001..much cheaper but i'm running on 15' so price cheap but 18' expensive. Mine is Made in Thailand, previous 2015 manufactured Made in Indonesia RE003 i bought was much better but recently Thai made bought new just clocked btw 1k-2k km...man i tell i regret buying it...will be back to my all time favorite AD08R worth every penny spent! Its twice the price of RE003 but its 10x better! If you want the best or would say the ultimate street tire pick the AD08R! Its for serious enthusiast!
Shame on you Bridgestone for the compound QC!

Given 56% while driving a Volvo 2.0 T5 Saloon (245/40 R18 W) on mostly motorways for 20,000 easy going miles
I bought 4 brand new Bridgestone Potenza to replace my worn out Michelin Primacy 3 ST. I mostly drive on the motorway, covering an average of 200km a day and up to 300km on a busy day. I am a slow and steady driver. What I liked about this tire is how aggressive threads look. It performed very well in the dry and sometimes when I driving a bit more enthusiastically than I normally would , these tires never fail to put a smile on my face.

However, having covered the positives, I did not feel safe with this tires in the wet because it tend to slip even when I am driving at the motorway speed limit. The most disappointing bit is that it only lasted 7 months and just short of 33,000km and it is expensive to buy. I would not recommend this tire for high mileage drivers.

So far so good in the Mr2 Spyder 2zz NA, acceleration and cornering feels more stable & very grippy during spirited drives, wet grip is better than my old tires, very happy

Given 79% while driving a Subaru Subaru Legacy GT 2.0 JDM (225/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 20 average miles
Brought these tire's 2 years ago for my legacy spec b wagon when first come on the market. Previously had RE002 on my other car (Subaru wrx spec c) and replaced those with Nito Invo, after being disappointed with the wet/dry grip performance. I new that the Re003 would be a good choice. so far no disappointments. its been two years of my partner driving the car putting 20,000 kms on the car in that time and its only just gone down to 6.0mm.
if you can get these tires on a sale they are worth every dollar spent. wear rate is low so don't expect 70,000kms out of them, these tires are great for safety, comfort and feed back.

I drive a large 5.4ltr sedan. I'm just about to replace my RE003 with another set. The current worn set replaced the previous RE002.
I've found them quite similar. I drive daily on a twisty mountain road and get roughly 20-25000 kms (12-15000 miles) from them in a large heavy car. The tire life is OK for me. In this day and age there are a lot of things to spend money on, I'm more than happy to buy decent tires every year because of the enjoyment they provide. Sometimes the road is wet and greasy and the feedback is very good. In the wet they start to growl and gently slide well before they actually let go so they give a lot of confidence.
I read a reasonable amount before I buy and find the RE003 very good value for money considering the performance they provide.

Given 80% while driving a Citroën C3 (195/50 R16) on mostly town for 5,000 spirited miles
I bought these tires on special, thinking they were probably somewhat overkill for a humble Citroen C3 but it was a good deal so why not? The car is mostly driven by my partner, who is unlikely to break traction at the best of times but wanted something safe to replace the ageing Falken Ziex's that the car had when we bought it.

I tell you what though, these tires have absolutely transformed the car, to the extent that I now often drive it to work in preference to my Lancia Fulvia coupe. They've turned it from a mushy understeerer into a pointy, responsive and highly enjoyable little hot hatch. It doesn't do the usual squealing that you get with cheap Euro hatches - it just grips and goes round with real precision, even at ridiculous speeds. You can even feel the difference when they warm up a bit. They're amazingly sure-footed in the wet as well.

Bad points? Well somewhat predictably they're pretty noisy (though not overly so), and seem to be wearing quite quickly. But who cares when they perform so well?! I'd have no hesitation in recommending these tires to anyone.

Given 80% while driving a Mazda 6 Wagon (205/55 R16 W) on mostly country roads for 3,000 average miles
The set of RE003 replaced some decent touring Yokohamas on my 2002 Mazda 6 Wagon (2.3 petrol auto). I wanted to get the best possible wet and dry grip for enthusiastic long distance driving. Overall these tires met all my expectations, but because of the extra tire noise, which doesn't really suit a family car, I will eventually replace these with Bridgestone Turanza (high performance touring) tires.

Pros:
+ great dry grip
+ great wet grip
+ great braking
+ good feedback

Cons:
- noticeable increase in tire roar, with a deep humming sound
- treadwear (UTQG 220 A AA on these) is noticeable at 5000 kms
- small decrease in fuel economy
