I'm interested on 2 pcs 185/55/R15 and 2pcs 205/50/R16. Where you order the tyre? I checked with YHI Malaysia they only have stock on June. If your order can arrive earlier will be great.

I will let the results speak for itself. Though I am still shy from my target of 2.40s, but using this tyres and improvising my lines and know how of track driving. Previously on Achilles 123S, my personal best was 2.47. Like I say, just a tyre change would not shave that 6 seconds off, but improvements was made on other things. Base on my 2.41 run, I was 30mm short of wheelbase diameter as I removed my 20mm spacers and was running on a 235 width tyres. Objectively, I would prefer a 245 width tyres but there was none in stock - so beggars cant be choosers.

For short, this tyres hold up to my requirements especially when pushed hard. I have even tried to push the tyres to the extent I was fighting the tyre grip with steering in an understeer condition and surprisingly it held up and was beyond my expectations - especially turn 15 when I WOT before clipping the apex. Was fun and an eye opening experience, but I need more track time for data logging.

The AD08R is a good all rounder tyre but tried it out on track and I still preferred the Toyo R1R or the Hankook R-S3 tyres instead. They have better dry grip and the R1R has good wet grip as well.

r1r good during wet u sure ?

Yup, did a couple of runs of the R1R at Sepang in the rain, time doesn't suffer as much.

lol i need to rotate my shitty cc5 on my inspira anyways so will be dropping by nestum place some time soon XD

btw, i have similar dilemma as you , however the tires that pitched against the ad08r weren't widely available unfortunately sad.gif

was really looking forward on giving the bridgestone RE11-A/Dunlop Direzza ZII  a shot as well particularly the RE11-A as it has asymmetric pattern which could be interesting cornering on tracks like sepang hmm.gif

then again, different experience with my inspira compared to iswara, so i'll probably be on my second set of ad08r although it'll be on a different car. will probably need this baseline if i were to compare against other tires like the re11-a anyways.

i was used ad08 for last 2 set and switch to PS3 due to budget issue.
dry road is excellent but not comfort and make some noise..but properly is my first choice if budget allow again.
never try their performance during wet road,scare die...drive safe bros~!
