+1!
Azenis ST-115 was one of my favourite. Along with AD07, S.Drive and PP2 which is obsolete too.
At least AD08 still around.

eh ad07/s drive is among your favorite? can comment more on those tires?

Both are in different level I think. I usually comment based on comparison with other tyres which I happen to use before or after. Me lousy driver ma .
I'll pick the slightly inferior in wet S.drive over the PS3 or RE001 on daily ride as it offer better overall driving
pleasure as S.drive actually gives more confident at anything more intense than intermediate road condition where
the PS3 and RE001 excel. Dry grip and traction are almost equal.
AD07's sidewall is not as stiff as RE11 or even RE001 but it made up for the accuracy of steering feel. Don't ask me where it comes from as I only care about the feel...lol.
Along with the AD08, AD07 is one of the most communicative tyres I'd ever use. Speeding at high speed corners less than 1 feet from the wall or divider is a breeze which I could not do with even Asymmetric .

i've heard s drive being inferior/bad in wet, but, how bad is it anyways?

and the neova series has been known for its steering precision, is it really as many claim? perhaps you can describe it better?

btw are you perhaps interested in bulking these as well? since you've used the ad07/08 (these are cheaper than the 08 btw)

Ad07 was my favorite tyre when i was still study and drive my satria vr4. It is the only street tyre that can make my car stick to the road on drag race (im not interested with semi slick) and can launch my car at 4k rpm without too much tyre spin. Awesome feeling. That time i've bought them rm460++ per piece for 16inch. There goes my study loan lol.

The only downside of ad07 is the aquaplaning sux big time.

I hope thuis ad08r can excel on both dry and wet. Currently using toyo t1r for my mpv, definitely will try this ad08r after current tyre wear out.

wats the price for 215/45/r18 ?
im usin proxes c1s now

S.drive had the traction but braking distance in wet is still further than the likes of RE001, ST-115 or PS3.
Never had the chance to whack it during heavy downpour so cannot comment on aquaplaning but high speed driving through a pud of water doesn't effect the car's handling.
About the steering precision of AD07/AD08, yes, first class! Slight input on the steering was send to the tyres instantly and accurate. Maybe this is due to the shoulder block construction where the tyres actually feel as if the tread is build around a cylinder...lol.

How much does the 205/50/16 and 205/50/15 cost?

thanks for the feedback bro.

there's some reviews/benchmarking at tirerack that proves/claims that the ad08 does good in wet, and with ad08r being a newly improved compound, theoretically it should be better

non bulk price 17" already 57x, so 18"
still interested?

damn you're poisoning me bro

16" not sure, for 17" refer my previous post, 15" is around 38x
again, non bulk price, and 16" can just use the price in between 15/17...

still gathering interests, if we can get at least 5 sets or something, i think the price should be much better

Lol...fact can be a poison. Me now unker driver already. Only pek san or touge once in a blue moon
but a good tyres is always a must on any run.

learned it the hard way myself

eh so you wanna keep a spare set for that "once in a blue moon" occasion? jom bulk

Still keep 2x of used AD08 in my storeroom. Another 2x will be good addition in case me decide to
go touge

I used to drive 70...max 80 in the wet in the AD07...above that must be crazy...unless the tires still new.

AD08..or the AD08R?...stuff of dreams to me ...no budget to get.
I think my tire size of 225/45/17 sure above RM800 per tires

wow very costly then ... about rm 800 per donut ?

not sure, if you interested i could perhaps get an initial price, then hopefully if the bulk do happen the price can go down further

Just curious about price range(Not that i have a car to use it)
265/35/18,255/35/18,255/40/17 price range
How deep into 1K per donut?

largest size ive asked is 215/45/17 which is around 58x

i don't think it'll dig in into 1k per donut, maybe close.

My PS3 left 20%... I dont mind joining the bulk but..... whats the MOQ? Running on 215/45/17

not sure on the MOQ yet, since i havent even officially started the bulk. id reckon it'd be at least 5 sets of tires for it to be even considered a bulk... pricing obviously the more people in the bulk the cheaper.

atm i believe i got about 2-3 interested people (including myself.
tentatively official bulk to begin within next month or latest also june.
