Tyres, AD08
Bought a pair of AD08,s for the front of my car, there supposed to be brill?
The current fronts are Bridgsteone Re070 that i bought used, mainly to check that the 225-45 will fit, there a little old and worn. Dont inspire confidence to there mega warm and have a very hard sidewall that transmits every bump into the stearing wheel.
So after a load of research went for the Yoko,s.
Time will tell?

I have a set of those on my car, and I reckon they're great! I wouldn't say that that are in the same league as a super-sticky track-only tyre, but they are definitely a superior road tyre.
Wear after 8000km and one trackday, there is 6mm of tread depth left, so I think they would be good for 20,000kms and say 4 trackdays before they are replaced.

DO NOT MIX TIRES!!
I have a set of the Yoko's AD08's on my Turbo right now. They are excellent tires. Turn-in is amazing and spot-on. Grip at apex and throttle is awesome.

IMHO, the AD08s are so superior to the Pilot Sports that they replaced (on my car), that just having AD08s at the front would be a pretty noticeable handling imbalance.
