I'd like to know the same! I was struggling a bit last time out (first time I've used them)

Quote from: "Two's Company"Has anyone found anywhere with AD08Rs in stock in facelift sizes?  I'm struggling to locate anywhere with them on the shelf and they are on backorder from Yokohama until 17 July.  

Cheers

Don't know if it's still the same but I bought some very recently from Blackcircles and stock was fine at the time.

They're not listed on black circles

Tweeks don't have them and no date for when they'll arrive. Cam skill have 195/50/15 listed as in stock but no rears. Ears were the ones who said 17 July.

There aren't many places I can find who stock them.

Regarding pressures, I ran 26 front 32 rear and dropped down to 24 front and 30 rear for track.  Those worked a treat for me  s:) :) s:)

ETA: I meant 28F road and 26F track.  Rears are correct.

(26/24 were the lotus! - doh)

I run pretty high on the front, 29. This has given me a quicker turn in and quicker on the exit without wobble, but...does understeer. 31 on the rear. I've never had the rear go and it has been fantastic for me.
so I'm sticking with 29-31, but that's my driving style. I could probably happily go to 27/30

I'll try the same as you shnazzle. Are you running normal facelift sizes?

No. Therein lies the difference haha. Forgot mention that.

I'm running slightly wider on both front and back

I'd maaayyybe to stock width on front next time. But I'm quite pleased as-is.

I sincerely struggle to get the car to lose grip on dry. It seems impossible once these tyres are warmed up. So much so that I want to see if I can get a harness put in because frankly I'm the only thing holding back on harder cornering because I'm fighting the Gs

Get yourself a CG Lock mate, they are awesome!

I bought one in the charity auction on Saturday and I'm amazed how secure it feels, can't believe I didn't buy one years ago.

To be honest I didn't even check their site I just emailed them asking for there best price (which I was happy with) and they arrived the next day so might be worth dropping them a line.
