Finally put a few kms on the AD08R... not as loud as I was expecting which is good. Will reserve final judgement after wearing them down a bit and getting mold release all off... supposedly get louder.

What are people running for street pressures - stick with stock 32f/39r or adjust for lower load rating of rear tire?

245/40/18 and 305/35/18 NT01s. 32/33 hot for track or cold for street.. My Motec shows 1.55G lateral with these tires and 1.3G under braking.

That's a nice validation - I bled the yokos back to 34/36 hot on the street and that felt much better than 40/42 (less skitish, less tramlining, more comfortable). I'll try them 32/33 cold and see how they feel. I really need to get them out to a skidpad/autocross to experiment with hot and cold temps.

At the track I start them at 25/26 cold and bleed down to 32/33 hot.
