Hi No the RS new replacement version is not as good as the R. The new version is revised to meet new European regulations and is a more economical tyre but less grippy as such and so on.Ep3-r said:I'm looking to buy a new set of tyres for the DC5 soon and the AD08RS looks to be the favourite for all round road use, just wondering what people's opinions are on these, are they as good as the old AD08R?
Any advice/opinions welcome.

Loads on google about it and comparisons. If the cars more a road car then maybe consider some alternatives (unless your happy with them being slightly less as focussed as their predecessor).
Swapping in pairs is fine. If you're other two have plenty of life I would personally just run them.skengdR said:are the old ones still easy to find ? and is it worth just trying 2 on the front or should you always swap 4 at a time

ive seen some but for around 160 a tireEp3-r said:The ad08r is not available anymore is it?
They're a good tyre don't get me wrong but they are heavy, significantly heavier than the AD08R imo. They're a good dry tyre but I didn't rate mine in the wet, many do though. I do find the turn in on the AD08R far sharper but both tyres have very stiff sidewalls which help.Ep3-r said:Don't really want to pay over £600 for a set of tyres, do the RE070 dull turn in that much? I know that they are a chunky tyre, is that why they are heavy? I will be putting them on some TD pro race wheels which are a bit lighter than oem wheels so that should help to offset the tyre weight. Sorry for all of the questions, I just want to buy a set of decent tyres at a reasonable price ready for the better weather!
