225/45/17 yoko AD08 request

[mike.williams]

hi

if someone has this setup

could i ask you to measure the width of the tyre across the tread? and possibly show a picture of the height of the sidewall?

i want to change my tyre sizes. i would like to go with ad08 again but cant decide whether to choose the bridgestone re002 as a cheaper alternative road tyre

some tyres run wide for their sizes and thats what im after

thanks
mike

Remember the new ad08'Rs have been released too bud.

I ran A048's in this spec and they are awesome

I have RE002 215 45 17.
They are pretty good. Long lasting and lots of grip.
But wouldnt probably have them again

Why wouldn't you have again after saying how good they are? (not a dig, serious question buddy)

When I bought them in the Summer and started using them I rated them quite well.
They werent ace, but for the price I could not complain.

However out of the 4 different types I have had on the Teg, they are the 3rd worse in bad conditions. I drive sensible in the conditions but find compared to Good Year Eagle F1s, they are not as grippy in the rain.

They are a track orientated tyre though so surely that's to be expected. Can't really compare winter performance of a tyre like that to an F1.

The AD08's are a very square tyre (if you know what I mean) which is great for grip across the tread pattern. I have them on mine and cannot fault them in all weathers.

I have ad08's now.

I want more sidewall so thinking of stepping up to a 225/45 on the rear and stepping down on the front.

Really been considering re070 now. Look great, great road performance and cheap as cheaps

I've recently just changed to the re070 and love them nice chunky sidewalls and as you say great price for them got mines from funky tyres

changed to re070 from what tire mate?

Changed from federal rsr's which in fairness were great in the dry but in the wet not so much.

They're very chunky too would say the 215/45 federal's are as chunky as the Bridgestone's 225/45.
