Mmmmm . . . I loved the A048's I had on my Lotus. These AD08's look the biz too!

[havoc]

Superb news!

Now will they do the tyre in 16" 95-02 size, and 15" ITR size, THAT is the important question...

[TheSebringOne]

Good find Jim, at last they've finally arrived. Were they not suppose to be released last Summer in the UK, since they've had them in the US for a while? Does anyone know if they do 16s & 17s? The link on the site seems to imply you are a trader or retailer/fitter?

Looks like sizes from 15" to 19".

Cheers Jim, hopefully when the official sizes are announced, they will fit all variants of OEM wheels.

Was in my local tyre place on Saturday and their latest Yoko price-list (arrived a couple of weeks ago) doesn't include them.

So who has found them, and from where?

I also asked 2 tyre places here and they couldnt find them either.

Just collected a full set of AD08s; 16 + 17'.
They really do exist.
On a wet drive home they feel stiff and very grippy. Infinitely better than the 040s.:D
Will let you know what they are like in the dry as and when.

best tyre ive ever had...the AD07s... these are virtually same just updated i guess.

Wet or dry, road or track they were the ones. And i had lots of tyres over the years.. My DC5 on this has the most grip in the wet and dry and they wore the least on 30 laps of the ring. Man they transformed that car.

[NoelWatson]

I think we need to organise a group buy

[NSX 2000]

Rare Rims seem to do them but the price differance between front and back seems a bit steep :dunno:

I think the prices are reflected in the fact these are semi track tyres as well as road ones.
