My dear bros which is better compromise between sometimes daily able And some track days. Feedback I got RS4 being cheaper and Slightly better then the neovas, but the AD08R slightly better In the wet ( road/daily able ) .

Appreciate your feedback as contemplating changing tyres.

Yes agree with your observation the Neovas have bigger channel to disperse the water. I didn’t like the older RS3 feeling at the limit. Traction break away too quickly. I’ve run ad07s along time ago and didn’t like them too the side wall was wobbly. But the Ad08r has/is one of the hardest side wall tires now.

Noticed too a lot of the top runners on time to attack run the RS4 Z232 with crazy timings. Didn’t know that the RS4 are so heat resistant and consistent.

AD08R has steel inserts on the sidewall so that's why the sidewall is very stiff. If you don't like RS3 then I think better go with AD08R unless you want to drive like a turtle in the wet.

Slow and steady always wins the race.... Hankook RS4
Also has steel inserts, some say apparently better compound and thread pattern and technology. all the top cars on time to attack Is running this Z232 tire if you notice. RS4 that bad wet handling ? Yeah if there is standing water most UHP tire just hydroplane except for the fast road tires like pilot sports,pirelli n Potenza , If it’s raining usually can’t drive fast also but I know some people drive exceptionally well in the wet, but I’m
not one of them. 😅

Well wouldn't that actually mean you need better wet tire performance? I think also regardless of driving skills, we would need tires that perform better in the wet if using it for daily drive in Malaysia due to our climate.

True dat, but for my use it’s mostly weekend and sometimes Daily la.... but driven less n less now... don’t wan rack up mileage on it and wear and tear.

It’s still slightly cheaper but some are marking up the price a lot.
