AD08R, all year, all round.


I don't think I've ever had a better tyre. The only one that comes close is the GSD3 of old, but they liked to melt with track abuse.

AD08R's for me too. Can't beat them as an all round tyre.

I use Eagle F1's, They're good, not amazing though... I'll won't be buying them again (Had 2 sets already), I'll be trying RE070s or AD08R's next.

Currently running Yokohama ECOS ES31, which the car came with from Japan - overall they are fine but they aren't great in the wet. Will be going for AD08R's once winter's over :)

Ad08R all round too.

The F1 assymetrics are a better wet tyre however, but I have still had good results with the AD08R. They just don't quite grip as well on a wet track but there isn't much in it.

AD08R's in 225 all year round in the past, now they are my track tyres. Moved to RE050 in OEM 215 width and they are a better tyre in every single aspect for the road.

As above ^ I'm still running the tyres from Japan (Goodyear Revspec) which are fantastic in the dry, not great in the wet though.
New wheels soon so planning on replacing tyres too with Goodyear Eagle F1 assy 2s.

Federal 595 RSR for me
I never enjoyed the Eagle F1s which was a shame as I bought them brand new! But I loved the RSR soooooooo much x

Yeah, I won't be on eagles again. Good tyre but not for our cars...sidewalls are way too soft and squidgy. Great in the wet, but not suited to our style of car. Just my personal preference anyway, some people will love abit more comfort.

There are loads of threads on tyres though bud, grab a cuppa and have a noisy :)

AD08R for road and track.

Will have some 4 x Eagle F1's for sale soon if anyone is interested.

235/40/17 on the front, rear's are 215/45/17. Ns2r medium compound. They work well in the rain, but hard to keep hot. I'll be fitting a set of rainsports on the oe wheels for this 'season' for when it's really wet.
