My car spends ever increasing amounts of time sat on the drive, so it's not a huge concern.

Ran these all year round on my Elise and Integra Type R (40 miles per day in the week, they were my only cars) and they were absolutely fine. Not as grippy in the extreme cold/wet but still better than most budget/mid-range tyres.

@rich83 How do find these for road noise? Just an increase in general noise maybe? My NS2R's provide amazing grip in warmer weather and are OK in the wet on the road but they do cause a resonance between 68-80. Sounds a bit like a wheel bearing whine. Easy to live with but I'm curious about other road legal track options.

Cheers.

Gone but not forgotten :-)

Slightly more noisy perhaps but certainly no "bearing" noise like the a048s make.

A little more general road noise over a premium regular tyre I could tolerate, have you done a track day on them at all?

Great Tyre!!! When my little Ep82 turbo starlet came from japan it had AD07's on it. They were the best tyres i had experienced but couldn't get replacements as they were jap market only and not E-marked. I then went to R888 which were fantastic, bit noisy, hard sidewalls so quite harsh on the road, especially in a 800kg motor and coilovers. Then yoko released the Ad08 and i thought i have to try them out. I still think for the warmer part of the year they are one of the best road tyres and will definitely hold their on the track aswell. I would Highly recommend them!!

Great interview, very insightful. I love how passionate they are about music, arranging and composing. I also like how Yoko Shimomura brings up the possibility of another piano collections and music box renditions.

haha wtf

Ffs  :grin:

I like how armchair sat under submarine. Big sun toast was last year I ate the rollercoaster, very independent inspired. On top it can be used on distortion without music or jamming mechanism. Turbulence beneath the exhaust often creates passengers and passion.
