Yokohama AD08

[D_G]

Guys,

As the search function is down I'm afraid it's another 'what tyre?' thread, I have a few mates running these for competition (with great results), anyone got these on a Nob? Apparently they are great in the dry but does anyone know how they are in the wet?
I've been using Goodyear F1's which are great, if the road trip I'm planning comes off I want a new set of boots beforehand, the car does no trackdays BTW and I'm not after 888s / A048s etc.

i have had yoko's in the past (not ad08) and they were not good in the wet !

Dave, look at Toyo R1R's (I've got a nearly new set if you like them)

Have them on my Fiesta, for what it's worth. I did a track day at a very wet Snetterton and was impressed with how well they performed. The VX220s next to me in the pits couldn't get anywhere near me on their 888s through the twisty bits. I like them.

FWIW it seems a lot of people get overly obsessed with tread patterns when sidewall stiffness is just as big an issue especially in the wet,
softer side wall = more forgiving but a little less directness. hard side walls have very little give so no second chances. On the road for wet conditions a softer sidewall should serve better as A. you won't be going quite as fast and B. see above
