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

Seems like the AD08R price just slighly more than UHP tires...which is good news...

But i wonder, which part they cut cost? Is it still Made in Japan?

When new of course wet better than PS3 and others....but after a few months....you will not even dare to drive above 80km/h...but PS3 will overtake you like nobody business

I based my experience on the legendary AD07, which the AD08R has replaced...used 3 sets...I also used 2 sets of PS3.

Those reviews are good as a reference...but as I'm not newbies at performance tires, It should be remembered, those tires are new, or probably scrub. I use to think how even Hankook can produce so good UHP tires...and even bought them to try out...when new it was superb when new, exactly like the reviews...but after 20K KM....performance drop like fall down from a cliff

Extreme performance use the mainly the compound and deeper groove for the wets, unlike most other tires that rely mostly on the thread design and less of the compound

But after a while, when the grooves are thinner, extreme tires simply cannot be driven fast without dangering everyone.

But to say AD08R performs better than PS3 in the wets is really pushing it to far, maybe when it is new...but after 10K KM is totally another story
