I thought instead of us talking about rubber lets just see it! Lets see what you decided to buy and a simple dry and wet rating from 1 to 10!
Heres mine:
Wet 7/10 Dry 9/10
Heres mine:

ok say 9/10 it is only my oppinion tho10/10 for dry is one hell of a claim! really?
My ad08s are good but not 10/10
I wonder what Toyo R888's and Fed RSR's will get rated as?
Cool thread tho
Mine - Yokahama Advan Neova AD08
Wet 6/10
Dry 8/10
Track 9/10
Continental Sport Contact 3;
As fitted from the factory but I run mine at 30PSi all round instead of 32PSi/30PSi.
Dry = 8/10
Very sharp and responsive with loads of grip and a progressive drop off rather than a snap. Sticky to touch when warm.
Wet = 9/10
About as good as a performance road tyre can be. Once warm they're very sure-footed and inspire confidence.
From what I've been told by people behind me, they clear and throw up a lot of water too.
Price = £125 per tyre but only paid £25 per tyre thanks to Tyre Insurance, this was fitted and supplied through the insurers mobile guy.

You can tell how much they throw up look at the boot lid

"the troll hunter" with added boost!
AD08s £100 each

Can't really express the huge vast gaping chasm of a difference in performance without breaking the scale.

think its hard to compare unless you've tried several tyres but here's my honest opinion after running dunlop sp sport 3000 front and conti 3's rear which the car came with,the conti's on the rear felt good but i thought the dunlops understeered a fair bit so i thought i'd try some yoko AD08's
AD08's + wheel refurb by scott1532, on Flickr
awesome tyre
wet 9/10 dry 11/10

Good thread, Just to make this a little more informative could people also post up a rough price they paid per wheel.
Legal street or track?
On track with "no lake water" they are better of street tyre.. I tested it
