Tires Man Tires

 

I have AD08s and they're badass. I'd definitely go for them. Extremely nice grip and feel. It's very easy to know when you're getting close to the edge and losing grip just before sliding.

How do you find them in the wet or when its colder? Still good grip and feel?

How many miles you been getting from a set?

 

whats the price range of those AD08 i think those will be my next set.

 

AD08s are about $250 each in stock size.

I'd definitely go AD08s over the R1R. The R1R have soft sidewalls and is known to overheat when you track them. Also, AD08 has less road noise, better tire wear and more grip.

I have a new set of AD08 I am planning on putting on when my RE01R wear out.

 

R-888's are mega sticky! Just don't last very long and do how a bit at higher speeds. I would vote for those if you track the car regularly.

Nope car is tracked rarely, but see's a lot of fast street driving. If I did a lot more track driving R888's would be top of my list.

So need a tyre thats geared more towards extreme street driving and last, plus works when its wet and colder too.

 

Wet has been fine, still nice and grippy, but it hasn't gotten below 40 since I've had them so I dunno. This is my first set, so no input on miles.

 

im running R1R's . They are excellent tires. They are great in wet too so in dry.
I even run them below 34 -32 F. And they still hold it up oke. they weren't great but hey that is not they heat range.
I think is a great choice for both DD and track.
The R888's are better in dry hands down. But as soon as raining or getting cold , the R1R takes over.
Also i have quiet few racing miles int them and they still in great condition.


also i like the way the R1r looks vs the advan, but that is personal.
R1R

ad08

 

i had the R1R in my previous car, and my 60' in the quarter mile was the same as having Drag Radials pretty weird.

 

R1R get overheated fast and have a very soft sidewall
AD08 is currently the fasted tire in AWD Street class Time attack (Redline time attack)
You may want to consider the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec
Or even the Hankook RS-3

 

or nitto nt05

 

NT05 Get greasy Very fast (when hot) and the sidewalls are a bit soggy

 

you think the sidewalls are better on the starspecs ^^^

 

from he cars i have driven, yes

 

what steet tire has the stiffest sidewall?

 

I have the AD08's, 2 track days on them so far, they are great, robi says they are perfect for the evo as well. Street ride is excellent, much better than the stock advans, tire noise is less and ride harshness is improved. The R1R can be prone to cracking at very low temps<30F and as per toyo should be stored in a warmer environment in those temps. I would believe that a 140 treadwear rating would be better for warm weather and track, but as people have posted, there may be issues w/ overheating. The ADO8's do get the tiniest bit greasy at the end of a 30 min lap sessioin, but they wear really nice and are super predictable otherwise.

 

Neova Ad08!

 

AD08, they're damn good for street and occasional track day.

 

 

Details please!

 

bridgestone re-11 are also another really solid option and they have a good sidewall and are not to loud.

 

I really should have read the date on this thread. Kind of pointless posting now but I don't know how to delete :s
