Walk out to car to find right rear AD08R nearly flat

Either fast leak or dodgy neighborhood fkin with my property again

Lose lose for Birds

one of my AD08R's deflated unnaturally quickly. other 3 were fine. was in a backyard, so no one had touched the car.

That's some Greg shit right there

Did it do it again or a one off?

Fitting AD08's to my car right now

Got told the fronts (Michelin Pilot sport 3's) are a horrible match and almost certainly will result in me binning the car

Greg issues occurring before even using them now

Widths of Front vs Rear?

I wouldn't say the tyre itself is a horrible match... your fronts aren't hardly 215 Chinese tyres... Unless the tyre place thinks you're going to be tracking it... in which case I'd be recommending AD08R's on the front as well or the rears will just push you off the track in a greg level understeer.

Coming from 245/275 Nitto NT05's

235/265 now

Pilot Sport 3 fronts, AD08 rears.

Did say I may track it, but he was more concerned i'd bin it driving in normal traffic or highway cruising.

All tyres involved were a great deal, etc.

Figured it'd be fine, if anything the PS3's should be more grippy than the AD08's, hence them being on the front of the car.

But yeah. Slip angles apparently very different, told to take EXTREME caution, and I'd notice it within 5kms of driving the car if its gonna be a problem.

I have AD08R 265 on the rear and AD08 255 on the front

It doesn't understeer really, in spite of the fronts being a street version of the rear semis

Actually is quite balanced feeling

I also postulate that the rears will wear down faster and return to a slight oversteer

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
