aiya didn't use the @ function

umm i think the iswara haven't been on the ad08r since last year, tires still kept in the kitchen and they still look damn new.
i've ran it as daily ride time to time (because it's still fun as hell) and had numerous track days with it.

maybe my iswara no power can't push the tires much, as the treads are still very new looking rofl.
so yea, it's probably good in wet still since treads still very healthy.

a bit neglecting the iswara lately as it's for the most part driven by my sis as i am focused on the inspira lately.
will be fitting these same tires on the inspira as well soon enough so stay tuned

no space ma

225/45/17

101.25 vs 107.5 = 6.25mm difference not that huge difference la lol
somemore stock generally more for comfort ma

i'd reckon weight would play a more prominent role in acceleration, however these tires aren't light at all to say the least

aih give females your car to drive and you'll have to be prepared for the worse.

in fact, my sis just bumped the iswara and the fender was slightly dented and the bumper clip broken so the side of the bumper was sticking out a bit

that said, i think a lot of people don't really dare to push xtreme tires during wet as they have the same perception as semi slicks.
do take note that there are semi slicks being cheaper than the ad08r and a lot criticized this tire being not worth it considering semi slicks do perform better in dry than the ad08r.
"why pay more for less performance", although they didn't exactly think on the whole package or maybe they just don't need it (eg: longer tire wear, lesser road noise, better wet performance)

huge thanks to Nestum

i guess that's pretty much it.

driving habits aside, the fact that continental price it at premium for an entry/mid level tire also leave a bad impression :/

Yokohama AD08R in the rain

to share a bit, the dry grip was not up to expectation and the ASC system had to pick up the slack especially with all the skid that was happening at the start as it initially shocked me.

This however isn't entirely the tire's fault, i've had a long chat with people and in the end it's determined to be incompatibility with my suspension setup.

a few tough choices to make at the moment, but i think i'll take it easy for the time being and make due with what i have at Sepang and then decide from there.

nestum
will need to adjust some alignment settings to compensate a bit

ya my current dampers too soft, unable to utilize the tire at all

i'm already on RCS lol

see how la, so far won't be retuning anything yet
