thread pattern seems to be similar with the AD08... so i would assume the wet weather performance would be very close to each other (though i have no idea how the AD08 performs in the wet
)guess the main point to see now is the compound difference and maybe sidewall stiffness and how these affect performance |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Apr 4 2013, 03:43 PM) AFAIK wet performance has never been Yokohama's forte except for the ES100... those were awesome in the dry AND wet... quite sad they discontinued those...almost as sad that the Azenis ST115 was discontinued |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Apr 4 2013, 03:50 PM) hmm were those replaced by the s drive? sadly from my friends' feedback, s drive wet performance leaves more to be desired if not mistaken it was replaced by the AD07.... if not mistaken...  not too sure... but i remember at first the ES100 was the big hoohaa... once killed the next big hoohaa was the AD07 |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ May 28 2014, 02:43 PM) not surprising, they are undercutting YHI network pricing, supposedly ban from YHI already, so even if they can get new stocks, will be grey imports which again, not surprising on the price. aaaaahhh...no wonder...... in that case... anyone wants to buy 95% 205/50/15 Federal 595 RS-R? hahahahahahha |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ May 29 2014, 07:22 PM) looking back, a year ago you were the first person to reply to this thread... so bila la   a year ago i just bought the RSR right before the AD08R came out... car very rarely moves (max 100km a week...n thats only IF it moves that week) which is why the RSR is still at 95% hahahah might have to sell it soon though.. some very recent changes to the car is causing my front wheel to stick out of the fender even at -2.1 camber...and scrubbing. so might have to go for 195/50/15 if pushing to -3.5 still doesnt clear |

QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Jun 18 2014, 07:49 PM) RM395/pc for the 205's. Well, usually I run 195's and honestly, 195 tires feels better on 8jj rims than on standard 6.5/7jj rims. It really changes the feel of the car and overall grip feels higher with sidewall flex feeling lesser. But then again, If you're on 8JJ, putting on wider tires would increase the grip even higher i guess pelik... im currently on 205/50 with 7jj... love how it is now... havent tested 195 on the 7jj yet though... |

QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Jun 19 2014, 01:21 AM) What I meant was with the current size tires, upsizing the rim somehow improves tire performance for me. You try change to 8jj with the same tire see how lol. How much you got yours? would love to upgrade to 8jj wheels... but the 8jj wheels here are with dumbass offsets... id rather stick to my ori 5Zigen 15x7 +33 wheels...and with the 2mm spacer up front, im already having fender scraping issues...and i have to use the spacer due to the 4pots i just installed.got my tires for RM365....but theyre not AD08R la... theyre 595RSR...the wheel n tire setup is damn nice for SIC though  |

QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Jun 19 2014, 09:40 PM) Yeke? I see most 8jj 15" all have roughly the same offset. Mine the offset is +25 and I see Nestum here sells it for RM1.2k for the original Enkei Tuning SC22 im looking for +35 8jj... sini tadak... Me still using original disc and calipers. What 4 pots you installed btw can fit in 15"? Those mini-4 pot ar?  595RSR eh? Hows the treadwear on those? The usual place i buy my tire say that he no longer brings in Federal due to the high amount of customer returns for bulging tires 282mm prelude rotors with nissan r33 4pot calipers 140tw...heard about the bulging...i dont travel much so not much of an issue with me i guess... bought it over a year ago n thread is still at about 90-95% |

QUOTE(nm7 @ Jun 22 2014, 01:02 AM) know of these wheels already...was looking for something locally...now not.interested in 8jj anymore...coz I would be limiting my tire sizes n tire choices...even 205 looks a lil stretched...n hard to find anything above 205 in malaysia for 15"QUOTE(nm7 @ Jun 22 2014, 01:05 AM) Wont 195 on 7jj look a bit too stretched? On 8jj then it looks like rota rims adi...but 15" have high sidewalls ..maybe dun look so bad naah, still quite alright...alot of people r running this setup...especially my track kaki friends |
