My old AD08s (not Rs) were not good in cold or greasy conditions at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats the main thing! If you drive home that's the ultimate prize. Wonder if your AD08R's have just been heat cycled to many times and they have gone hard. I was on RSR and they were interesting on the first few sessions but I would say no worse than the MPSS I was on last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You sure it was't the meat in the seat that was the issue? 4 Minion, sam534, Lauren and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTR 509 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 17 minutes ago, Test Drives Unlimited said: Yes I drove into the Gravel Pit for the sheer hell of it I have always wanted to try RallyX, does look fun. I'm just saying you might be jumping to conclusions, the track doesn't look that wet in the photos so I presume it wasn't the damp that was the issue (Please feel free to correct me if I'm incorrect). Even if it was, it's a case of driving to the conditions. The AD08R is an excellent tyre and I'm genuinely surprised to hear someone criticise it, let alone replace it with KU39's. If it's a case of heat cycling then surely you'll have that issue with any tyre? If it's a case of just out-braking yourself, from experience no tyre is going to save you from that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dom2497 33 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 Friend of mine ran AD08Rs on his E46 M3, different car I know... He was unstoppable on track even in the wet. So surprised with your reviewSent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Test Drives Unlimited 278 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 I have been having a lot of trouble with these tyres and decided to cut my losses and change them back to Kumho's having had 3 sets of those tyres and no issues while on the track or road use! Anyway some tyres work and some don't and these simply are crap on my car which is the bottom line as far as I care!!

Church 209 Report post Posted December 2, 2018 After some drift-rallying on mostly gravel & frozen grassy ground. No wonder that wheels on highway felt slightly "unbalanced" and vibrated a bit. In my defense - wheel weights used in balancing are from natural only eco-materials Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
