Any Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08 Experience?

ok, I had my first dry track day with them. Not sure on lap times, but I had to point a bunch of people by that I never had to give points to before. Mind you, I was running Hoosiers or Nittos last year.
These suckers squeal like a stuck pig. Great when you want to know when they lose grip (which is all the time). Even braking at 100mph they chirp a lot. Braking in a turn the inside tire chirps as it locks up momentarily. Predictable when you push it too hard and they let go. That guy on Tire Rack that said they have awesome grip hasn't tried nice R-comps before.
Pressures used were 36f/39r hot. Anyhow, the dry performance was decent for a street tire and the outside shoulder tread cap design looks like it'll stand up to a lot of abuse. So far, so good. That tread design alone makes them worth way more to me than PS2.
Cheers,
