Title: Yoko Advan AD08r Tyre Pressures
Post by: sadhvikv on November 8, 2015, 17:22
Hey all,

Just wondering for those who run AD08r's, what tyre pressures are you running/recommend? I'm running 26/32 (cold) but thinking of dropping them a little and reducing the psi difference to 4psi (i.e. 24/28 cold), am I right in saying that that will increase grip + slightly reduce tendency to oversteer, and the stiff sidewalls mean I can get away with lower than the guideline pressures in the manual?

cannot actually answer your question but surprised you feel the need for more grip.
These are some of the grippyest(?) tyres out there.

You are not showing that you are running big power. Have you managed to unstick them?

What size tyres are you running?
When was the last time the car had a full wheel alignment?
As Jason said above very highly regarded tyre.

I ran 28 and 30 on the track and grip certainly wasn't an issue, the tyres really come into their element when they are warm
