Yokohama Advan Neova AD08

[Wobba]

Anyone tried these yet?

I will be looking to replace my R1R's soon. They are a great tyre but wear rate is not that good :( Then again, I have had them for over a year and used everyday, and one track day so maybe I am wrong.

The AD08's are a similar kind of tyre but speaking to a GT3 owner that has used these on several track days on one set and a load of normal driving, reckons they wear very well.

Other option is the Kumhoes...cheap and dirty, but I may slap a set on my spare track wheels and see how they go. What's the stiffness of the side walls like with these? They wallowy at all?

Oh, here are the Advans:

Friend of mine runs these on his Integra, rates them very highly... but same sorta money as the R1Rs

[Wobba]

Yes, they are about the same price, I just like to try new stuff

The Federal RSR's are supposed to be comparable to the R888 but less cost and better wet weather grip...downside is a tiny bit less dry grip...not an issue for me anyway.

Im going to give the federals a shot too.

Cool! Well, definitely write a report on them after you've had them a while dude. Always good to get feedback from Clio owners.

If i had the cash i think thats what im gonna go for tbh! So far found em for £66 each at Tyre Traders...anybody beat that!?

i had just put these on my williams before i blew 2 engines up in a week, i have probably not even done 500miles on them and they felt like the best tires i have ever had, the guy who fitted them was really impressed with how well they balanced and the inside lip of the tyre etc, oh and i only really used them in wet conditions and they were as good as my eagle f1s in the dry
