MoT and Tyres

[NSX 2000]

Got the car MoT'd today, and just the 3 advisory items.
1, Nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit.
2, Offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit.
3, Offside front tyre worn close to the legal limt.
Think I need some new tyres!

Any recommendations, or do I stick with the Yokohama AD08s.

If you can get ad08s I would stick, really good tyre

I got the AD08R late last year. Ears Motorsport did the best deal when eventually got them in.
Tyreleader are doing good deals at the moment with free post and Camskill are always worth a try.

If you wanna have a good standard tire, why no Bridgestone RE050A?

Last week I called with a Bridgestone technican and he recommended this tire spec for the NSX.

RE050A Potenza
215/40/17 87Y Art.Nr. 78706 Gewicht: 10,699 kg
255/40/17 94Y Art.Nr. 77644 Gewicht: 12,078 kg

If you wanna go for something real amazing, go to the RE070H0
Just got 4 new tires from Japan.
For me its still the best tire for the NSX.

Not sure if you can use them because th have no E sign.

I'm just behind a set of this tire, but that is nothing for driving in rain.
Called Bridgestone RE11S

i had the re040's on my rx8, 18 inch alloys. i went to hankook ventus v12 evo's after they wore out.

i found the re040's to have crazy grip on wet roads coming outta corners lol.
but it'd be interesting to see how the car will get on with re050's as heard they are a better tyre.
going to try them when the hankook's wear out.
