I've been enjoying the Yokohama AD08R for my street tire....also did a Autocross on them and won. Very predictable and sticky street tire. Lighter weight than the RE11 too.

My wife has Michelin Super Sports on her Panamera. Nice tire but the Yoko AD08R definitely has more stick.

^ Good to know! I will put the Yoko's on the shopping list when the RE11's are done. The lower weight is especially good to know. Any wet weather feedback on them?

As long as there is decent tread left they all pretty comparable on wet. Problem is just you can't build up temperature to have a tire to operate in optimum condition. It is more important to drive smooth then just hope for traction. It is especially important with sustaining waters when your wipers are not fast enough. If you gentle with throttle just like you drive on snow, you will be fine just don't turn off PSM

And yes, R11 is about 1lb heavier then AD08 for what it is worth.

I didn't see the date The AD08 are 180 rated so arn't legal for SCCA SoloII next year. If they do I may try a set next year when I go back to 19's from 18,s. How are the SS for AutoX, better than the RE11?

I'd go RE11 for autocross simply because they come up to temperature so quickly (that's partly why they're so magic in the wet also). That same behavior makes them worse for track than the Super Sports because they get too hot after 15 or 20 minutes of track.
