Default Yokohama AD08 experiences

Hi all,
Have done some searches but none have come back specific to 993TT's
Does anyone have experience with AD08?

Will be using these 95% street
I'm considering 235 (F) and 285 (R)

Any advice offered is much appreciated!
TIA

I have 225/40 & 295/30 AD08s on factory 18" twist hollow spoke 996TT wheels (for sale ) and I love them! I also have them on another car. They are as close to a daily driver R compound as you will find. The ride and road noise isn't quite as refined as a Mich PS2 but the performance is much better.

Tuner1,
Thanks for chiming in.
Nice rims, they compliment the body curves very nicely

Can you elaborate more on the differences between michelin ps2 and yoko AD08?
feel at limit, wet conditions, track days?..etc

Im thinking of doing 235/40 18 and 295/30 18 (trying to keep close to stock)
cheers,
Chunn

These are stock tires on the Lotus Elise and I've really liked them. As mentioned above, they are quite close to an R-Compound tire in terms of grip.
