Glad to hear, it was my only gripe with the yokos

AD08R > MPSS

Best street tires I've driven. Use them on my Spyder. Damn good (for street tires) on track too!

Got the Yoko AD08R's on the car Monday....WOW incredible tire so far. Really sticks good. I am doing an autoX this Sunday and feeling lazy about swapping out to my Nitto NT01's.

For the advice on the AD08R's....this is why I'm on the forum!

Won my AutoX....also 3rd fastest overall out of 55 cars...many on slicks or R-comp tires...like the 2 cars in front of me in the overall rating. 2nd and 3rd (me) were 100th's of a second off!

I drove well, my GTS ran great and enjoyed the new Yokohama AD08R....very predictable tire and grippy for a street tire even at full tread new with a few hundred miles on them. If I had put on my track wheels with Nitto NT01 I might have taken the whole AutoX but these spanking brand new full tread Yoko's really did well.

I highly recommend the Yokohama AD08R...thanks to all here for the recommendation and Damon at Tire Rack for the recommendation and fast shipping!

I just got myself a set of new AD08R's (235/35/19 and 305/30/19). On the track, what hot pressures should I be targeting?
