Nice donuts huh..

hahaha, initially want to change the rubbers only (205/45/R16) but upon arriving at the shop no stock pulak~ so he offered me 15" wheels + AD08R tyres for RM1900 (trade in old 16" wheels) as opposed to 16" tyres only price of RM1920~ very tempting that offer and my instinct is so strong for AD08R so there it goes~
today just got opportunity to try it and very satisfied with it~ Firstly, it was raining heavily in Shah Alam and it does not aquaplane easily (as there are myth that this kind of tires performed very badly in wet, the grip feels just like T1R before (driving in wet 90-100 km/h) so I am very satisfied with it (no matter how expensive your tires are, do not drive in insane speed during rain).
Then, I tried in Karak uphill and it was mixture of damp road (light rain) and dry. To my surprise, the grip is way better than T1R, it was my mind playing games with me to let go off the throttle (not confident when using T1R) but I just plant my foot down and it corner without a sweat! There are corners that I usually shift down to get more traction but after getting used to AD08R grip, I don't have to shift down and just enter the corner with confidence. 140km/h attacking those corner is very easy (I'm just a noob driver unlike
Quazacolt)~
Then I purposely took Temerloh exit to see how it perform in normal road. From Temerloh to Kuantan, it was dry and hot all the way but there are some sections where the tarmac are loose and this tyres grip as expected. Attacking those corners is definitely a newfound confidence to me.
There's my initial review after about 500km of usage.
Thanks to Quazacolt for the poison~ damn!
