What's latest on tyres all?

Fair points. What settings do you class as aggressive geo? I think I'm only 1.5 on the front camber

I'm running -2.7 on the front and -1.5 on the rear with 0.0 toe on my DC5 and its fairly aggressive on the road but grand on track

The pulling about is just a combination of the LSD and bump steer, plus the "heavy" feeling of the hydraulic steering.

It's just how these cars are

I changed the dampening on the way home , went full soft, nearly died. Pulled over and put it 5 clicks harder than it was and it was better. Maybe just need a play about. Still curious on the tyre width though. Best not hijack this tyre thread with suspension chat.

Has anyone tried running Michelin Cup 2 tyres on their cars yet.

Might replace the AD08R with them once need replacing

I was torn between them and the AD08R but they're substantially more expensive, ridiculous I know but the tread pattern looks naff and seemingly they're awful in the wet but fantastic in the dry. Give them a try though I'd say especially if you're looking to try something else. You'd probably be the first one on here to run them.

I'm running 225 all round on AD08R. I wouldn't go to 215 on the Integra. I've ran 215 in the past and the car felt soft and the tyres always looked flat. Stick to 225 and get some decent rubber. As above I've just changed from chunky Bridgestone RE070's and they were 225 but too heavy. I've now got 225 AD08R all round and they are much lighter and turn in is far sharper. They are awful from cold though, even worse than the Bridgestone were and the tread on the RE070's was almost semi slick. Lots of choice out there but AD08R when up to temperature are supposed to be fantastic and a great all rounder. Hope that helps!

Mines a daily and don't fancy AD08s in this weather atm. Pretty much sub freezing when I drive it most mornings

-2.7 on the front? You must eat tyres up

Fair enough mate, I'd look at Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Supersports then. Again another very good tyre supposedly.

Its set up for track. I dont really daily drive it anymore let it eat tyres all it wants haha

According to the camber wear markings on the sidewall of the AD08R's there is still a fair bit of negative camber left to play

Yeah I'm vert tempted to get a set just for the front and leave the AD08R on the rear.

Had a look on camskill earlier. From memory they were around 135 a corner where as AD08R were around 110ish

 

[aleksboch]

Where do people buy their tyres from nowadays? Online I assume?

 

[Crazylegs]

Camskill normally but I got my AD08R fitted for 103 a corner at a local place so turned out to be cheaper than Camskill. Can't fault Camskill for their service, it's excellent.
