You mean you re-mount wheels from side to side?

If so, the inside edges remain on the inside, the outside edges on the outside. No?

So Jordan,

How are the AD08's holding up as to handling, noise & wear? I'm due for new tires and am considering these.

Thanks!

My $.02, I've put these on my 95 C4 in March of this year. Got a few thousand miles on them, & 8 Auto-X events.

Good smooth, quite rubber, very sticky. Not as smooth or quiet as new Pilot Sports, but way, way more grip. Great in the rain, and so far in the colder weather (around 40).

I have won every Auto-X this year with them, & have been beating GT3's & 2011 Turbo's. Almost set top time of the morning a couple of times.

Wear seems to be going well, they still look almost new, they have not changed characteristics since new.

Downside, they ride harsher then PS2's, & my MPG went down about 10%. I started to over inflate them a bit for the street.

This is hands down the best street tire I have every had, & I will not put anything else on the car for quite some time. It's also nice that they have the proper sizing for our 993's, quite a few other good tires out there to not.

So not much more to add as my car has been offline for upgrades for nearly 4 months now except that the above post is a great description. Very very sticky, much better wear than the AD07's. I love them.

What size did you get? I am thinking of putting 295s at the rear.

I have 225/40/18 285/30/18

Thanks guys, nice write up!

Im interested in these as well...great write up!
How about going wider all around?

Stealth 993 do u have the same sizes as Flat-6 performance?

If you like these you should try the new Bridgestone RE11.

It beat the Yoko 08s in customer surveys on tirerack (rated 1 st vs 08s 3rd). Most who have owned the 07 and tried the RE11 have really loved them. I have the PS2 before them and they are better wet and dry although they are heavier - but they are much cheaper. Porsche use the Race spec oe here as a control tyre for local Porsche racing...

Cheers

Running factory NB Turbo Twist wheels, with 225/265 rubber, got to keep it stock for my Auto-X class.

Around here, the AD08's are faster then the RE11's. AD08's work better on the colder, wetter days. AD08's are also a lot cheaper for the same size, can't comments on how the RE11's do otherwise.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Yokohama

WTF?

WB sizes are on nationwide backorder for at least 6 - 8 weeks




Does this have something to do with tsunami affected production or ?

Sigh, i guess i'll have to buy another set of Korean tires instead.

Nothing wrong with Hankook RS-3 or Dunlop Direzza StarSpec as an alternative if Yokos are not available. Although, from my limited experience, AD08 is a _very_ good tire (of not for price it would be _great_ tire). Which, again, from limited experience, I can't say about RE11.
