Yokohama AD08R?
Hi all, new member here. Wondering if anyone has tried the AD08R? I saw a couple of mention of the old AD08 but not the newer R that has only been around for a few months. I'm keen to hear your view of this tyre compared to the Kumhos if you have tried them on the GP. Thanking in advanced!

I've put 3 autocross events on them already, they grip well, wear well, and they're relatively quiet on the road, too.

You are the guy who traded his Mk6 GTI for the GP? Good trade! And thanks, good to know that it's a good tyre on this car. Hopefully the turn in doesn't dull compared to the Kumhos. What is the size of yours btw? I'm assuming there is only 215/45 and not the OE size of 215/40?

And yes, that'd be me. Loving the car so far, picked it up with 3500 miles on the 5th of July, already put 1500 on it (800 of that was driving back from Chicago ).

Can't have been too comfortable driving such long distance in our GP! And I don't know how I miss this. There is 215/40s for the AD08R. I don't know why not more owners have tried this.

Of course, the GTI was better for long highway slogs, but the GP is WAY more fun.

180 treadwear vs 50 treadwear is a very significant difference in overall roadholding ability.
That being said, these grip very tenaciously, even in an autocross setting.
