michelin pilot sport cup 2 vs yokohama ad08r
Discussion
Never tried the Michelins so can't compare but I had AD08Rs on my MX5 turbo. They're a good choice if you want decent consistent grip and long life as they hardly seemed to wear out at all on track which was pretty astonishing. Probably not as grippy as the full on track tyres like R888s but a far better bet than the usual sports tyres aimed at road use which overheat and wear out in a single trackday. Not as good in the wet as a good normal road tyre but not terrible, although in the depths of winter they were a little scary at times before I could get heat into them.
Of course in a much heavier car like yours you might have an entirely different experience. Some tyres work much better on light cars and vice versa...no idea if this is true of the AD08Rs.

I haven't tried the R version of the AD08's yet, but I think the older AD08 was a brilliant all-round track tyre. They seem to last very well and grip much better than normal road tyres. In performance they are much closer to track tyres. They also come with 8mm tread depth. If you want to drive to the day and use one set of tyres for wet and dry, they are a great choice.
