Richo, what's the difference between ad08 and ad08r?

Different compound/tread pattern I'm guessing?

[ssxRicho]

Tread pattern is the same.

It's a different compound. Increased grip at temperature.

They might have had a play around with the sidewall as well, not sure.

But they are still selling both AD08 and AD08R. The R is only available in certain sizes at the moment.

[Count Grantleyish]

Oh, I see.

Edit: what's the tread wear rating on these two?

[blah_blah]

$420 / tyre!!! No way.

OTR if you want AD08's or RTR if you want RS3. Both are under $400 / tyre.

iirc the AD08 is around $385 and the RS3 around $370.

You should, might, kinda be able to get AD08R's in 265 from OTR as well.

Hokie dokie! I'll keep that in mind

Tirerack would be good if the dollar was better

listed at $263USD a tyre on tirerack. But once you add shipping, GST, duties and convert back to AUD it gets exy

[ssxRicho]

Oh, I see.

Well there is a story there....

AD08's are 180.

RS3's are 140 & 200. However there is no difference between the two. They simply had the tyres re-certified at a higher utqg for a racing series they were competing in. The 285/35 R18 RS3's I've used were 200 utqg.

[Count Grantleyish]

Noticed any difference in wear between these two?

I know you run both in different size so that'd be in-direct comparison but I'm curious and I'm sure others will be too.

[ssxRicho]

After one event it's hard to tell. The AD08's lasted forever, in-fact I sold both my sets before they died.

I'd tend to say at this stage, the Ad08's will last longer.

[Count Grantleyish]

How many trackdays did you do with a set of ad08s before moving on with rs3's?

[Rekin]

Ombudsment has taken on my case on the basis that my termination fee is more than my remaining balance.

Telco will be in touch to discuss

I only ran RS3 as I couldn't get AD08 in 285 or 295. I've done 15 track days on AD08's previously. Those tyres have gone on to be used another 5-6 times.

[Count Grantleyish]

That's impressive

[TiTAN]

yeah pistons and rods maybe, but not crank (which I thought he was also referring to)

GTiR crank: ~$600 used

Forged: $1900+

told ya... tell them you want to keep the handset and terminate the contract. Moving for work was unavoidable and you purchased the product in good faith assuming that there would be coverage in all major areas etc.

if you sound like you wont accept anything less, however don't come across as arrogant they will likely just give it to you as a commercial decision

f**ked it up. Rookie mistake.

Agreed to pay out the outstanding months ($290) vs the original termination fee of $440

Should have argued to get it less as there is no difference in keeping or cancelling the contract.

Ah well, next case ill be aware.
