Help me guys looking at ADO8R
What do you guys think that have used them tx Kevin

 

[Big Ben]

Great tyre Kev. Get them

 

[Chris]

Highly rated tyre!

Not good in standing water! (so probably wouldn't have been much use to use at spa this time around lol)

 

[sevenfourate]

Never seen a bad report i dont think. Although 'treading carefully in the wet is advised'. Most who try them swear by them.....

You'd love them Kev IMO.

***Is it just me who thinks these are the worst (Cheap ?) looking tread pattern ever......?

thats it..
Kev i was happy with them but honestly cant tell you what they are like in heavy rain,never drove my car a longer distance in such conditions..but normal wet just fine..think you will be surprised of how much grip they actually have in the wet..

Been on a wet track and they surprised me how good they were.

i had the michelin cup 2's before the yokos and think the cup 2's are slightly better in the wet. as said above the AD08R's will cope, unless you're driving through a monsoon.the trick is to get a bit of heat in them.

another thing to consider, the yokos have a very stiff sidewall. so will be less comfortable, than what you're used to with the michelin PSS.

You'll never find me

I like the sound of that.

Compared to the Cup 2’s.......or just about anything else ?

Excellent tyre. I ran them at Spa on the Meg last year and had no issues at all.

I'm thinking now that the stiff sidewalls are definitely a contributing factor in how firm my car feels. Always blamed it on the suspension but never considered the tyres as well..!

My Conti 5's are what's known as the XL model. They are the stiff sidewall version. (I wouldn't get anything with a known soft sidewall from experience).

IF i was to change brand / tyre type sometime in the future, i may be interested in firming the car a little more. And thus there is the option of gaining a little; via an even stiffer walled tyre.

Not so much in cars....but i know from bikes it can make a World of difference.

**Did you put tyres and springs on at the same time Ben ? ie: Couldn't tell the difference with one change at a time ?
