Soo according to Tougetime at 6:30 the AO52 is way better than the AD08 tyre.. might be worth considering for those in the market.

Like the R888 it's really no good for a road tyre outside of July and August.


Edit

And at those prices too dear

Congrats, not here. They are pretty good in the wet.

Same thing the Bridgestones. Véry limited availability and shipping from distance is simply a nono.

Bit of a draw of the luck at the moment thing here with the more exotics. The AD08Rs is as far out as it comes.
