Tyres you use(d) and how u would rate them

[Nismo 3.2ish]

I have the AD08s on my 32 and haven't had them aquaplane yet, they do offer much more wet grip then the RE001s I replaced with the AD08s and dry grip difference between them is ridiculous

I have the Hankook RS-3s on my 34 in a bigger tyre and reckon the ADs are a alround better tyre

Hi Mick, if they are good enough for your type of driving they are probably too good for me, what is the comfort and noise like on the street, not that it worries me.

What size did you use on the 34 ?

You have made my mind up, so all good,thanks

[XKLABA]

I have 265/35/18 ADs on the 32, very little road noise, can hardly hear any at all

I have 275/35/19 RS-3s on the 34, don't no about road noise cause Weldon fuel pump lol

[gtr jet]

265/35/18 AD08's checking in. Had them on my 32 for about 6 months or so now. Plenty of traction and very progressive. Wet grip is a lot better than my KU36's and road noise I'm not sure as the exhaust is too loud.

They do not make a 275 in the AD08Rs but I think there is a 265/40/18 and I will go that way.

You want to get Michaels exhaust and the Weldon wont bother you and Visa Versa, haha

Are yours the AD08Rs or the AD08s , I believe they are both pretty good.

you probably drive with the window open and one ear out of the car, just gotta love a good exhaust , haha

[gtr jet]

Just the AD08's I don't think there is too much difference between them.

I generally drive with the window's down as I don't have aircon. The noise is awesome but sometimes it draws some unwanted attention and can be a pain on long trips.

Saw a couple of vids and read a few reviews and they say the Rs are a better tyre, I guess you do not bring out a new tyre worse than the old one, dare say it has been done

Bloody laptop playing up again:(

Exhausts, love the sound but as you said it can create the wrong attention it was funny when I had the old T78 on and changed it to the TP6262 it was much quieter I did not expect that much difference. When I put the custom exhaust on, I asked them to keep the sound down as much as they can without stopping the benefits from a better flowing exhaust.

Black car, need my aircon

Hi Amir,Thanks

I saw that vid before and read the review, have seen others and read other forums and it was all positive and I keep looking but I have made my mind up to get them and have asked for a delivery date

A few have said the AD08/Rs do not like puddles and got a little wobbly going through them but I guess it depends what you are doing at the time.

[AMR33]

That's right mate. Even wet weather tires don't like 1m puddles. So just avoid them as much as possible I guess. Or you can get a 4x4. But even with 'normal' everyday winter puddles, I think you'll find the Rs A ok.

Amir

[XKLABA]

Where are you getting them from Pete ?

[Nismo 3.2ish]

After the Quaife diff and the trannie mods it will be close to a 4x4, haha

Is the 1m = 1 metre, shit I have to swim through those

I have only had a few aquaplanes since I have had cars and those times were when I left the tyres that were on the car when I bought it, just lazy and trying to save a $ and then I would then find the best wet tyres I could find, back then the Pirelli's were pretty good.

I have Pirelli PZero on the car now and I have had no real problem, well except for a bit of rain after a long dry spell with oil coming up to the surface and there is nothing you can do except wait until you feel the road and drive out of it, funny feeling

As the car will be very responsive I want the best rubber I can get, anything to help is good and safety first before you need first aid

Bob Jane in Newcastle, I got my Advan rims from them and their service is pretty good.

Do you know of a better mob?

[Nismo 3.2ish]

Living here can be a pain when you need to do crap on your car:(

Yeah I was just exagerating to make a point.

Tires are one one of the most important thing mate so it's a good thing taking your time to choose. I've learnt the lesson to never skimp on tires. Mind you my daily e36 bmw runs on Bob Jane Xenons and lets just say its like riding on plastic, wet or dry.

[Nismo 3.2ish]

haha, spot on and now I will get some brakes sorted.

Just put some Extreme on the front as mine were totally stuffed and the bloke that did them has done track for a long time and he reconds that these are great for a DD and OK for a couple of quick/short track runs but they will not cop a lot of HARD work. He uses them on his DD.

Couple of blokes on SAU mentioned that Endless are very good and pretty good for a DD , work OK cold, so when I am ready I will have a closer look at them.

[#skyginer]

Goodride rs sport 225 17, 2 months of use so far

Dry grip is excellent and very progressive on the limit

Wet grip is only alright, same as most budget radials

But for 125 ea fitted theyre brilliant

A little noisy but very compliant on crap roads

A very good china tyre, apparently a semi

[Nismo 3.2ish]

Ordered the AD08Rs 265/35 , not the 265/40, they said there were no 265/40s in stock and nothing at Yokohama and would have to wait for the next batch to be made, well so they say but the 265/35/18 are recommended for the R34GTR from Yokohama.

[ichi-go]

265/35 sounds about right, 40 would be way too high profile

40 would be suitable for 255
